Title: Are these tyres buggered ?
Post by: threaders on April 15, 2017, 09:34 AM

Hi,
I just need to find some light blue tyres with tan walls to finish one of my builds. They seem to be very hard to find I've been searching for months and nothing apart from these. They look a bit cracked and dry though and will probably cost around £130 so I just wanted to show them to you guys to see what you thinking?

They will only go on a show bike but just wanted to ask your opinions on the condition? Are they likely to get worse once the cracking has started or can I save them from further deterioration?
What other brands of tyres come in that light blue colour? Cheers, Jonathan:)

Usually fine on a carpet at low psi but i wouldnt go up to 40 or try and ride them.

To be honest though, if it is a carpet queen do you really want to spend 130 on tired that look fooked. Certainly not show bike stuff

 :) well my show bikes and the show bikes on here are pretty different but I know what you mean. That shade of blue is hard to find and I've been searching for months. I guess I'll have to be more patient  :) I've only seen that shade of blue on some Tioga tyres but not anywhere else :-\
Are the blue haro freestyle tyres the same shade?

Panaracer are similar and there are always these reissues....

Hi, thanks for the replies, unfortunately the blue panaracer tyres are too dark same with the Chang shin blue tyres too. I've seen some newer odyssey path tyres which are about right but not seen any for sale. I appreciate the offer though :daumenhoch:
