Strange tyre wear

[Boog]

I run my tires 2psi over max and have prevented the dreaded cupping/scalloping effect. My OEM Mets lasted to 8K miles on my 2014 R3T. I have run Bridgestone Exedra Max ever since and get around 13K miles from a set.
The picture show tire wear at 7,900 +/_ miles on the Mets.

Road conditions here in England are pretty dire.
The authorities don't repair our roads properly (only patch and run) and there is grit, gravel and salt everywhere.
Potholes are everywhere, and deep potholes too. If you hit one you are on the ground.
It's no wonder the tyres wear unevenly.
Thanks for your reply.

Sounds like California roads. California wouldn't use salt on their roads as there may be an endangered species that comes into contact with it and ingest the sodium and become a salt addict and then move on to harder seasonings. A sad ending.

That looks a bit like my tyre wear.

I always have the recommended tyre pressure. I check it every day.
I don't think that is the problem with my tyre.

Did you just say you check the air in your tire (s) every day? Wow

I did say that.
I generally look around the tyres every day before riding. I do check the tyre pressure every couple of days when using the bike reguarly.
The trouble is it is hard to see if the air is low as they don't seem to look flat unlike the car tyre even if they are completely out of air.
I am just fussy I guess.

Check the valve. I cracks and leaks. Often overlooked. Not changed with each new tyre.

Checking tires is important. I need to check them more often. I did inspection and road for a couple of hours. The next day, I rode a few miles to the small town I live close too. The bike road like it was in sand. I pulled into the only gas station in town. Sure enough the rear tire was down to 20 psi. The valve stem internals didn’t reset completely the day before when I checked pressure. I got lucky...
