dallas is on a distinguished road
Just before my trip to PL-SK-CZ, I got a fresh set of K60 Scouts(at 74.000km) and now at 84.000km they still got enuff thread for many more km's.......however....
This morning when checking the tyre pressure, I noticed this(see piccies) on the rear tyre, at three spots, all in the middle: small cracks at the knobbies? What did cause this? Just wear? Could it harm to ride on with these, I have doubts.... The pressure I use: front 2.3, back 2.5 as in the manual. I have a spare set of half worn Scouts, so I'll have the rear one fitted for fall/winter and then in the spring I'll get afresh set. Although I don't know if I'll stick with the Scouts, because the mileage is a bit dissapointing like this(compared to three sets of Tourances with an average of around 20.000km's).
Any thoughts on this matter, guys&gals?
Greetz, Hans.
