			Got a question for the tire gurus....
Had the back wheels off of the car this weekend while I was redesigning the rear frame horns for wheelie bar clearance.  I got to looking a bit closer at them and discovered they're striped.
These were new slicks 3 runs ago.  The rough, pebbly surface that you expect on a slick after it has been run was in strips running around the tire.  In between these were strips of smooth, like new rubber.
I'm thinking one of 2 things - 1) I ran them too hard and the tire didn't flatten out on on the track (I had 9 lbs in them), or 2) I didn't run them enough to wear them in.
What do you guys think?
