varyder & VT, maybe the wording "dual compound" is misleading. If what I understand to be true is accurate the manufacturer makes certain area's of the tire more dense for rigidity and/or wear resistance. In the case of the E3 this more dense area is dead center. It isn't new technology and is/was a pretty common feature on many Bridgestone tires as early as the 1990's. If you run a lot of interstate or straight roads it is a great feature which will get you some extra miles. If you ride a lot of twisty roads like I do it tends to raise the center accenting this 1' strip down the center.
I suppose I should have just paid closer attention, it isn't like I've never run tires like the E3 before. I'm gonna chock it up to excitement about getting back out on the road for my first summer trip, lol.

ps... just so the question is answered I always run 40-42 psi in both front and rear, and I check pressure at least every 3rd day.
