vintage tires... are scary


This thing was NOS in June .. I put some miles on it but not enough
to warrant this much wear.. at least I don't think so.. the rubber just melted off.

I'll bet your road captain was pissed seeing you running that thing.

I guess its just because of the hardened rubber being kinda old ?My front tire was old but still had at least 75% tread 6 months ago. I have to change it as its almost in this shape.

Thats what I was thinking Jay. Plus the 100 plus weather didnt do it any favors.
