I haven’t ridden these tires much, but I realized the sides are busted in a number of places. Would you consider them safe to ride or should I ditch them? Here the pics...first two of the rear, last two of the front.

Technically, unless your hucking or hitting warp speeds, you should be ok till they let go, just make sure you have tubes to avoid the long walk back. Frankly though, I would ditch that schwalbe garbage and get something else. Addix is sxhwalbes version of putting whipped cream on shit.

I did ditch them and I run tubes, I installed a set of Tioga Psycho Genius I had in the garage, at least they don't have tears in the sidewalls. I'm not too impressed with Schwalbe I have to say, I still have a set of new Rock Razor but the new bike is getting Minions.

Can’t go wrong with the Minions. Grip really well and are more robust than that overpriced Schwalbe junk.

At least I bought them for cheap...
New bike.

Best answer. New bike was bought, solely on your piece of advise. True story. How did you ever come up with that? Never mind, thanks!

Looks like, doesn’t it! Not sure where it happened, but it prompted me to buy a new bike...do you think I should have gotten a medium instead of a large?!??
my philosophy with tires (probably extreme for bicycle tires, but i come from the automotive racing first) if in doubt toss it out (a tire failure on track could easily be fatal) and bike tires are cheap compared to car tires . . .
