Sorry guysi really don't get this. Except in exceptional situations a tyre will behave in a predictable way if its a couple of years old. It isn't suddenly gonna go--"ohh im 5 years old now im gonna stop gripping"
Riding to the conditions means ALL the conditions including tyre stickyness.
I get the bit about a tyre on an A100 or maybee a tyre on a bike thats been in storage for a number f years. But otherwise to me ts an addition to the list of excuses a rider can make for not being aware of everything thats going on around them.
Even race tyres that go "off" dont just flick a switch and do so. they deteriorate at a reasonably predictable rate.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
