Think it time for some new rubber

[chaparral02]

I don't like the look of these cracks in my rear michelin pilot tyre so I think it time to get a nice new set of Michelin P3's fitted....

That picture shows that the rubber has gone brittle...   Meaning it will give zero grip as it's lost all pliability. Throw in bin and get some nice new rubber and transform your bike

Me too, only this is what happened to my Pr3's after not even 10 months and 4K. Must be a Michelin thing. Out of interest, how old are they ?

They were on my bike when I brought it brand new in August 2008 and they have now done just over 5000miles....

Time for a change then. Get yourself a new set for the summer. I got some 023 Bridgestones a couple of weeks ago for my 8, £225 fitted for the set. Feels nice to have new rubber under you.

So the rubber was over 5 years old before you got it? 

Man, are you in for a treat when you get new rubber under you!

By the way, the is a manufacture date is on the side wall, it is a four digit number, first two are the week, second two are the year, so 2007 is the 20th week in 2007.
