Putting skinny Nobby Nics (1.8) on a 26 Bonty RaceLite wheel.
(For HONC tomorrow)
Has blow off twice. Well within pressure tolerance of tyre and with brand new Conti tubes.

Should I ditch this tyre ? Has the beeding gone do you reckon?

yep bead has failed. one of mine did that 2010 model would just dive off rim anything above 15 psi, sent it back as it was a new one and got a replacement.

I'd have bet both bollocks on it being a Schwabbly tyre - beads made of old knicker-elastic I reckon
