Tire pressures drop quickly in cold weather also. It's a good reminder for everyone to check your tire pressures now that the weather has cooled down considerably throughout the country.
AEs on last two bikes... loved the feel in heat, rain, cold; wore great; good deal on 'em from my Indie... although the DS keeps popping in my head...but it'll have to wait, I've got a new AE sitting on the shelf waiting for a spring tour....
low tire pressure like mentioned above and riding style can cause the rear tire to square up like that. I know if i had cams and a big bore kit and heads i would have a square tire too!

Yea this was a brand new 2012 take off cast wheel stock rear. I just put on this past April. 7 months it lasted. was all fun riding though. I got 9 k out of it.
I could get a bit more out of it tread wise but the ability of the tire to take curves now is gone due to the flat spot.
