Tires wearing fast?
My tires always seem to loose thier CROWN fairly quickly.
The front wears fine but the rear always gets flat on top. I keep 120-125 or so psi in them and I weigh 190lbs.
I just got a set of Dura-Ace tubeless rims and have a set of Specialized Turbo tubless tires,
and have approx 380 miles on them and already the rear tire has the flat spot on it. (front is perfect) also I'm only running theese at 100-110 psi.
Does anyone else have this problem? any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..RK
P.S. The Dura-Ace Tubless set up is incredible, so far.

As a heavier rider, I will never waste my money on a Specialized race style tire again. I used the S-Works Mondo. Sucker didn't last 800 miles. Fine on smooth paved trail but after the first mountain climb (40 miles, 30-40 mph descents) it was toast at the bottom of the hill. 3-4 inch rubber on the tread was missing. I've seen simlar issues in other threads so it's not just my experience.

You can wear tires down to the where the casing is starting to show, and they'll function fine. Might be more likely to flat, but they'll work just fine to hold the road, even when they get that flat spot.
Look at how much rubber there is between the road and the casing on a typical road tire:
