I just got my first set of Victoracer V700's from Tirerack. They were supposed to be shaved to 4/32". They are bald in some spots? Anybody else have experience with these? Do they wear much further pas being bald? Maybe I can a picture up over the weekend.

If you look closely at a new, unshaved VIctoracer, the tread grooves are not all the same depth, which means some of them disappear when the tire is shaved. So yes, it's normal for some sections of the tread to look bald.
