1st off, I wouldn't be running hard on them tires at all, trying to get rid of "chicken strips".... they look a little old to me. 2nd, a "chicken strip" is the un-used part of the tire, where a rider didn't get the bike all the way over to the edge. You can see it where the scuffed part (used tire) meets the nice shiny part (un-used). That is a chicken strip. Now, I'm not one to judge a person's riding ability by looking at their tires. If you look at mine, you can see a small chicken strip on it, but that is from riding on the street. Take the same bike to the track, and you won't see them on my tires. I don't like to ride 100% "balls out" on the street where I can crash due to dirt in the road and then possibility get ran over! I take that shit to the track where there is some kind of "control" or order. My advice to you, don't worry about the chicken strips, I don't see any on your tires...but if you worry about it too much and push yourself on the street to impress someone else or so your tires look "cool", then you might end up crashing. No need to crash pushing your limits on the street, take it to the track!
