I did 10 runs under reasonably controlled conditions. Loaded them into GoldenCheetah and Gribble. Hardly back of the napkin analysis.
Physical condition is irrelevant. Increased body mass should not affect Crr. Of course, it affects aerodynamics but that would be a different thread.
I am very confident in the final Crr numbers that I recorded, I merely did not share them here.

Are you losing adhesion? I am not. I do not buy your statement at all. I also do not cruise along at 250 watts, perhaps half of that on average. Peak crank force might be 30 pounds.
OTOH, almost all braking forces are on the front tires AND they are substantial. Rear tire wear is almost all due to rear bias. My recumbent is 52/48 and I wear front tires out slightly faster but they both get changed at the same time just to keep it simple.

Years apart which would affect road and environmental factors
Your physical dimensions have changed
Different power meters
I doubt the pressure gauge was calibrated to ensure consistency
How did you record your data a GPS computer or perhaps an old-school mechanical stopwatch like my HS track coach
You could have logged your flawed data on the Fugaku supercomputer, garbage in garbage out.
I assume this thread was to promote engagement or social interaction but you really can't be serious?

I don't know anything about the subject at all, but I'm enjoying OP's obvious pleasure in solving a puzzle. What's your point in posting all that nastiness? If you don't trust OP's results, don't use them.
