Tire: To Roll or Not to Roll, that is the Question?

[onetracker]

Look at this sidewall. Would you:

a.) run it until it is totally held together only with sealant?
b.) rotate it to the front wheel?
c.) sh*t can it?

What do you think? 🤔

I think everyone needs an excuse to buy new tires, and you have one.

@onetracker stop being a miser and buy a new tire...said with love in my heart

It is more of a game to see how much I can get away with 😀

Does it still hold air?

 

[onetracker]

Yup!!

It's a fun game, right up until you lose 😜

I think you would rather have that fail in the rear then to move the tire to the front.

 

[Norm]

Yup!!

Run it until failure. Then curse me as you walk home.

It actually went flat in my basement a while back and I threw in some more sealant and got like 10 more rides. Shame, plenty of tread left. Just rubbed to many rocks.

Guess it is time to change. Thanks for playing.

yes tires are supposed to roll!



also keep the most questionable tire on the rear, its easier to stay upright with a flat rear than it is a flat front.

Late to the party. A brand new Maxxis will look like that after one wet ride.

As someone who goes through at least 2 sets of tires per year, this is the only answer you need.

If you are young and can take a good thump run it. If you are getting older like me buy a new tier.

This.

P.S. If anyone has Maxxis tires that look like this that have good tread and you want to get rid of them, let me know.😁
