These High rollers have so far don't two alpine holidays and I'm debating wether I can get this years out of them, or should I stop being tight,How shagged is shagged, I don't know how long to leave a gravity tyre?

They look fine to me. I'd use them. My guide last year had a High Roller on the rear that resembled a semi slick. Those are virtually new in comparison.

Put the top one on the back, buy a new front.
Go on, treat yourself.
That or take the cutters to them and say it's a pro factory mod. ๐Ÿ˜€

Not much wear on the side knobs, do you only ride in straight lines? ๐Ÿ˜†

My favourite mtb tyre!

What were you doing for 2 weeks in the Alps? Riding to the shops? Those are immaculate!

Just taken this Minion off the back of mine;

Base compound not showing through just yet, so there's probably a bit of life in it yet if I get desperate. I do prefer a loose back end though...

bottom one barely worn in, top one looks almost new, were you seriously considering junking them?

Yeah chuck them in my direction and get yourself some new tread. Positively lethal those HRollers. I'll even waive the environmental disposal fee that car tyre companies like to charge you!

The super tacky looks mint, it was more the chunks out of the rear 40a, i wasn't going to literally throw it out but i would have got a new one if it was on its way out, i wouldn't like to think i had buy a new tyre in resort,
If you want the rear its free for collection mid Aug ๐Ÿ˜†
