	The rear tire developed a bulge in the center of the tread while riding. the motorcycle became barely rideable. at a friend's shop we removed and inspected the tire. it appeared that the tread was separating from the casing. i have since seen about 2 dozen complaints on various internet message boards describing the very same problem. i have a file of these descriptions if you are interested.( dot number: call me tire size: 180/70r 16 )
