I have to partially disagree. Chicken strips are unmarked areas on the edges, where the tread has never met the road. I'm an edge-to-edge rider, but I get severe flat spots by the end of a tire's life. It's the nature of the roads here to disallow uniform wear.

Rare is the street rider who doesn't develop flat spots (plural because it occurs on the front, too).
