Yet again I have a tyre on the rear of my bike where there are bumpy lines of thread from the carcass protruding from the outside tyre sidewalls and distortion in the rubber of the tyre near the tread itself.
The raised threads all follow the same rough angle from rim to tread.
The tyre is nowhere near worn out.
I run about 35psi tubeless on a ust (819) room with slime sealant.
The tyre is a 2bliss Control 2.2
Two questions
1) is my tyre now deader than a norwegian blue parrot in a Bolton pet shop and
2) any suggestions for what keeps destroying my sidewalls (ride in s downs/ Wiltshire usually).
I've had lots of Conti's go that way, I always wear out the sidewall before the tread, which isn't great because they tend to go from 30psi to 0psi in half a second when they let go.
I was told I was running them too soft, but like you I was 30Psi and more which would be more than adequate on something like a Maxxis.
any 2bliss tyres I've had have done this, run at similar pressures to maxxis lust equivalents they just don't seem to have the same strength in the sidewalls. Continentals seem to do the same
Thanks and Dam! Had a feeling that was the case(!).
Time to think about some new rubber for the back then.
I think reading the above that I need to take a look at Maxxis tyres a the suggestion seems to be tougher sidewalls, any other ideas (26") appreciated.
I've had Schwalbes and Contis do it, but with no detrimental impact on performance at all.
