How the fuck are we supposed to know?

FWIW, the back tyre on my FJ did that just after I'd got it.

That would have square corners and a frame shape to it.

New (to me) FJ, old tyre. The blemish wasn't there when I got the bike,
but seemed to appear somewhere around 500 miles of riding.

Sounds like a tyre defect to me. Maybe some rubber not completely fused to
the rest?
See if you can get a replacement.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

  Sounds like it chunked to me. When did you (dwb) last check the
tyre pressure?

Heh - it's an idea.. though i suspect the Bridgestone man will look at tyre
that's done 6000+ miles with just a -hint- of scepticism <!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Rode/ridden. Then/Than - there are more important things to worry yourself

Yes. My newsnet postings are reflecting my general decline.

Nice idea, but a) there are no cattle grids on the route I did, b) an
average speed of 43mph over 115 miles would imply that whilst I'm still
slow, I'm not THAT slow.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Before I set out - it was fine (36psi).

And the mark on the tyre (which I can't a picture of for a few reasons)
looks like a 'rolling' mark - ie something that the tyre went over, rather
then something coming off the tyre.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Does DWB pay you to check his tyre pressures then?

You're going to get the sack aren't you?
