thats why I think there is the possibility of two issues going on at the same time. Worth looking into. At the wost case, might be time for a rear shock adjustment and maybe some fresh fluid if the problem persists.

i think you need more rebound based on the wavy pattern. But the feathering is normal I think since it was new pavement. I had the same feathering but it was a smooth band not wavy like yours.

That happened to me at summit, I first noticed when I was at main in end of march, it it was kinda cold that day which didn't help much. Tires got ripped up pretty good. Then I was at the WERA races back in april, it was 80 outside and sunny, during practice the tire got ripped apart even more in kinda a saw blade pattern similar to your picture. While riding coming out the higher speed turns I was feeling the rear shock compress, then rebound a little too quick which made the bike a little squirrly but also had to put a lot of stress on the tire. I added 3 clicks of high speed compression and took out a click of rebound and threw on a new rear tire for the hell of it. Bike felt tremendously better when I did the HW solo race, and the new tire showed no signs of abnormal wear whatsoever.

Looks like your picking the bike up off the corners and wacking the throttle open. Try to crack the throttle open and roll it open throughout the corner.
My tires used to look like that. I refined my throttle application and they now look smooth.

Your wait for the bike to more upright and are grabbing a hand full of throttle. As Ralph said get in the gas smoother and sooner. The tire will show more even ware. Ralph wore a tire out at Pocono East last time we were there and the tire has no tread at all from the edge to the middle. It was a beautiful sight.

With the blistering heat I opt to run green/green set up, was able to snag a green front from the Pirelli guy before he left the wera event. For shits n giggles I went back to 30/30 cold pressures. Tires felt the same as the 30/30 hot but seem to wear much better...and this is Summit we're talkin about...last time I was there my SC Pros were torn up running 30/30 hot(which is probably around 25 cold.)

FWIW, I think those tire pressures are a tad low. I ran the Metzler Racetecs at 32/32 cold for two seasons with all of the grip I expected and very predictable and even wear.
30/30 cold is probably going to be a much better pressure for you to run with than the 25/25 you might have been runing.
