Something to do with extra weight on the front end? I would struggle to get threw a set of fronts in less than 5-6k, is the rubber really soft?  :surprised:

Rubbers just soft :( all pressures are okay and tread depths are in the okay zone of the marker but the rears are well above, as they all should be! Oh well il lock the topic now!

Thanks
