Repop tyre quandary
factory pilot:
Got to agree with all the above ... Kenda k55s are fab, whitewalls work well too and those comp3 yellow labels are fantastic ...
Don't know much about the panaracers but Andy don't you have any ? ::)

Fook using old tyres for riders, they're all shite after all these years...
rooski:
I run rainbow labels on my rider, they were worn and cracked 5 years ago, done 3 years o/s racing on them, 60 psi, no bother.
These are 90's tyres, don't know of anyone who's had a problem with them, guess they are just that bit newer?
There's a few n/s tan wall tyres kicking around, personally I would use them on a rider, if I needed to!

Thing is the rubber degrades, the fabric rots and the steel wire rusts maybe not all at the same time but anyone of them can lead to tyre failure when inflated to 40 psi and a grown man added.
PS There is no such thing as release dust rubber turns white as it degrades so the more white dust the more degraded the tyre is.
