That don't look too bad. I'd go on a weekend with those no worries. Better to finish those off and fit fresh rubber after the motorway haul back home IMHO.

I was really tempted just to go on them - the probably feel worse (to run your hand over, not when riding) than they look. A couple of folk who saw them last year said I should probably replace them and I'm useless at stuff like that so thought I'd ask for help.

I didnt want to put new ones on to run there and back, but at the same time wanted a back up option if I had to get new tyres on the way or when I was there.

All other opinions welcome.

Looking at your pics,
tyres seem ok.
As luckypants says go enjoy the weekend.

I'm rubbish at judging mm of remaining tread by pictures. What tyre is it? Didn't the standard wooden ones come with that pattern?

You couldn't just call in though, would need to phone him to see what shifts he's on and give him chance to order the tyre in if he doesn't have one already.

Steve's your man. Quality guy, very helpful.

The tyres will be rounder by the end of the rideout Jen

It would be a waste of rubber as others have said to change before te rideout.

That's not as square as my rear tyre at the moment and you have seen how square mine is!

21-04-11, 07:24 PM

Yup - and with a bit of luck they'll last the entire weekend.

Otherwise I'll be hoping there's a tyre place open on Sunday!
