This tire has about 300mi on it and I am already missing a good chunk of rubber in this spot

I am riding fixed 46x17 so I have plenty of skid patches.

The Ultra Sport III I replaced was pretty evenly worn by the time I removed it

I mainly run Gatorskins but they typically hold up better. Is anyone else noticed a quality issue?

    My last pair was bought in like 2018 and went for between 6 and 8k miles. That sucks if they are lacking quality now

      Rest assured. I am hard on my tires.

      Based on person above and what I did see initially I could’ve skidded on a sharp rock or something to start that damage. I am rough on my bike
