Been out the last few days putting on the miles so I can get the new engine serviced. Stopped for a break and checking around the bike as you do I noticed the walls of the rear tyre are cracking up on both sides. Tyre pressures have been regularly checked over the winter lay up so that's not been the problem. The bike and therefore the tyres have only done just over 1100 miles which is nothing. Makes me wonder how long the tyres were in storage before they were actually fitted on a wheel. Does anyone know if tyres are date stamped with a code and if so how do you read it?
The other question is what to replace them with as I will change front and rear 'cos I don't like mixing brands. I don't like the Metzlers as they seem to be fitted for looks and I'm more inclined towards the Bridgestone BT45 tyre so far. Still at around £200.00 it is an expense I could well do without at the present time, and there goes the cash for new Ikon shocks I'd promised myself.
