Hey that had a few miles left in it!! When you see the threads its time to start looking for a new one.... OK it was worn but still shouldn't do that!! Back in the days of tubes I wore one til I was sitting and the tube started coming out the hole thru the threads!!! I figured that one was DONE!!! Did you buy Lottery tickets??

Well now, it seems to me that you need need to be told something!!! Looks to me that there is a lot less tread in the middle than on the sides, which can mean only one thing!!! It's time to corner more, you are riding a-way tooooo many straight stretches, or maybe you're just not following a Spyder enough!!!!

On a second look at the pictures,,,, that shoe looks like it's been around a while, have you checked it out lately?

So as promised.. photos to go with the saga..

 

I know the tire is very worn out.. Please no lectures.. please

 

So when I started to FEEL a problem at slow speeds it was very slow speeds so the thump was faster than the rotation of the tire which really confused me so when I didn't see anything I thought it was the splines dried out or some other issue..

 

Anyhow the pictures explain it all..

Just ride on the edges from now on they still look like new. It is only the middle that is worn out.
