my 09 tmax came with bridge stones, replace front with same at 5100 miles because of wear on left side & cupping i guess it's called had flat places on it, now at 7700 2600 later it's showing it's beginning to do the same. i live in no. alabama & started riding more to the left side of road because of crown.
question, has any one experience this & what did you do to solve or help to get more mile. rear show wear in center But, still ok.

If it's got cupping you need to check it's pressure more often. Or if you already do check it regularly, you need to have your front suspension adjusted for your weight/riding style.

Thats one disadvantage of owning a scooter, all scooters are hard on tires due to the smaller rim size, less rubber on the roads and the higher weight of the machines, one advantage is the Tmax uses the bigger 15" diameter tires were the Burgman and Silver Wings use the 14".
I have 3000 miles on my Tmax and my stock Bridgestone's are still like new and it doesn't look like there are many other brands in the sizes that fit the Tmax, so when the time comes to replace them I will get another set of Bridgestone.
I am a stickler and I check my air pressure before every ride and I always go 5 psi higher than recommended
