Time for a New Tyre

[ianbarton]

Schwalbe Durano Plus finally worn through to the blue plastic layer. Replacing it with the same type of tyre. I think it's about 5 years since this one was replaced. The only thing that defeats them are blackthorn hedge cuttings, but they will puncture almost anything.

Tyre is laughing in the face of road debris, I note.

Plenty of life left in that that's only a little bit of the blue.

Not trying hard enough...

Knew I had another picture somewhere.

Ran that tyre for another 5 months and 1300 miles until the other, less worn tyre started to fail at the bead/sidewall, at which point I replaced them both.

The 'good' tyre is still hung in the bike shed as an emergency spare just in case and looks something like this....
