Michelin AS3 Center Wear

I am on my second set of Michelin AS3 tires for the rear that have worn to slicks in the center in 10,000 miles. They have not been over-inflated. What gives?

Re: Michelin AS3 Center Wear

too much air ---wears in the center
not enough air ---- wears on the outsides.

Are you inflating to the pressure shown on your drivers side door frame label, or the pressure shown on the tire?

Left off: Too narrow a rim - wears in center.

For spirited driving I like a rim the same width as the tread. For racing, the same width as the section.

At least the camber is about right.
