Rear tyre -- does this look right? - wickedmonkey - 08-03-14
Hi guys,
I noticed this morning that there is a strange patch on the centre of my rear tyre that wasn't there last week. I know that the tread is low and I was planning on getting a new one next month but this patch worries me. Anyone know what this is/if it's safe?

The tread isn't "low", it's non existent, i wouldn't even dream of riding with a tyre that bad, especially with the recent weather we've just been through!

I know, it was on the bike when I got it, already pretty squared off. I think the last owner only rode right angles.

I'd love to but if it goes pop, I've no way of getting it to the garage!
Re: Rear tyre -- does this look right? - Punkstig - 09-03-14
Do it outside the garage and make new friends you hooligan you!

Honestly, it ain't worth it should you get pulled, or even worse have a bump, the cops will go mad on your ass, and the insurance co might have a get out clause for roadworthyness!
