That picture shows that the rubber has gone brittle... :eek 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

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. :lol
If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans.
So the rubber was over 5 years old before you got it? :eek
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.
