Just before my trip to PL-SK-CZ, I got a fresh set of K60 Scouts(at 74.000km) and now at 84.000km they still got enuff thread for many more km's.......however....
This morning when checking the tyre pressure, I noticed this(see piccies) on the rear tyre, at three spots, all in the middle: small cracks at the knobbies? What did cause this? Just wear? Could it harm to ride on with these, I have doubts.... The pressure I use: front 2.3, back 2.5 as in the manual. I have a spare set of half worn Scouts, so I'll have the rear one fitted for fall/winter and then in the spring I'll get afresh set. Although I don't know if I'll stick with the Scouts, because the mileage is a bit dissapointing like this(compared to three sets of Tourances with an average of around 20.000km's). Any thoughts on this matter, guys&gals? Greetz, Hans.

That could just be a tyre that is old and not stored well.....
No one knows how ling it sat on the shelf before you bought it, could have done 2 winters in a freezing store for all you know..... Do they have a production date on ? I know some do.. |

Don't worry. Tubeless tyres work just fine on tube type rims (obviously with a tube though!
 )

I've just fitted Conti Escapes on my Tengai after removing the Avon Distanzias ... I did consider the K60s and E-09's but went for a more road biased option
