Question:

What exactly causes the blistering on motorcycle tires after a hard run?

I have seen the blistering on the tires of my bikes before but only after an exspecially hard run with buddies. In the past I have always used Michilan tires (first sports, then powers, after that the dual compound powers) and recently I got a set of donlop qualifiers (they were cheaper and I was told by buddies that I was wasting money on the Michelines). Since I got the Donlops the front tire seems to often blister after a joy ride down my favorite road at only a brisk pace and both tires always blister after some fun with the boys on thier bikes. My question are what exactly causes it and do the donlops blister more often because they are lower quality or is it just ok since I have never had any noticably traction problems?

Answer:

Typically it's a result of improperly adjusted suspension.

If I remember right, the reason they blister is from heat opening the pores of the polymer (rubber compound) and letting oxygen in between the pores. This usually happens on Formula 1 tires that are too soft of a compound or after they get too hot during use. If I remember right, the Dunlop Qualifiers are a fairly soft compound that won't last very long and is better for track use and not the street (probably why your friends said you were wasting your money).
