Should I replace the tyre?

[lulubel]

After my crash back in February, the front wheel of my bike was twisted so badly I had to completely release the brakes before I could remove it from the bike. The tyre, however, was still inflated, and stayed inflated for a couple of weeks until I let the air out of it.

I've just about finished building my new bike, and I was about to put the tyre on my new front wheel when I wondered if it was a good idea. The tyre stayed inflated and there are no visible signs of damage. Does that mean it's safe to use, or would I be better off replacing it?

I'd use it, but maybe stick it on the rear as you don't really want a defective tyre on the front

Thanks, guys. I'll just swap them around, then, and put the one that took the impact on the rear.

At least that's one thing I don't have to spend money on. I'm very happy with my Rubino Pros, and I wouldn't use another tyre, but they ain't cheap!

Just get the normal Rubino's. Difference being wire bead not folding and much cheaper.
Weight wise, not noticeable.
