Kiwi back at home!
I have been using the attached image tire for mainly commuting and I was planning on taking it for a blat this weekend to actually use some of the sides.
Until I noticed this tiny patch that has delaminated.
Would it last a decent ride or is it too poked?
BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
Bald as, not safe.
With no absorbing layer or rubber, if you run over somnething sharp, it may well pop and you will be in trouble.
My vote says: Don't risk it.

The fact that you posted on here means you are already concerned.
Looks gone to me. Change it I say. Ask yourself if you are worth the cost of new rubber?

The steel is not even showing through.....like the tire that I replaced this one with was when I got my ticket for a dangerous tire....Originally Posted by Goblin

I don't have a van or a trailer..... will ask in Cycletreads..... surely no one will mind a rolling burnout up the ramp?Got a vid cam?? Post the burnout.
Forum whore
Lol. Too poked.
I don't think it's delaminated though. When my rear tyre did that, it looked to me like it had a different sort of rubber beneath the tread. The steel isn't far away.
For whom the bell tolls
I went to the steel once on my old R6. Once you get that far through the rest starts to fall off pretty fast

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
One hell of a ride.
Go on your own so you don't screw up anyone else's day waiting for the trailer - or Ambulance.

Me too I went to the steel on the front on my 6. Not a good idea.... get a new one - not worth it.I went to the steel once on my old R6. Once you get that far through the rest starts to fall off pretty fast

If nothing else it'll be murder if it starts to rain... Replace it dude, it's not worth the risk.
