Rear tyre -- does this look right?

[wickedmonkey]

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?

Thats the carcass that tyre is illegal,totally worn out and lethal

You've murdered a centipede.  :look

[kitcrazy]

:eek next thing you'll see is metal

[darrsi]

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!

[stevierst]

Only one thing for a tyre like that....

And then a bright light  :guitar  and then some big gates  :angel  and then a bloke with a beard and a book  :book -------------- and your name ain't in it, for riding on a bold tyre at which point  :finger you will take the trip to the basement for a chat with this chap  :evil

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

Burn out! kill it! This how I get rid of old tyres...


I filled the yard with white smoke and the stables next door panicked and called the fire brigade! LOL  :rollin :rollin :rollin

I'd love to but if it goes pop, I've no way of getting it to the garage!

[Punkstig]

Do it outside the garage and make new friends you hooligan you!

With the tyre the way it is, I'd take the wheel off and get the bus!

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!
