Good to see Borsuq expanded into putting tires on bikes.

Very satisfying. Can’t even consider being critical of the slightly left biased wear pattern

turns out my leaning left is not just a political thing

You beat me to the NASCAR joke.

It looks to me like you have a bad habit of locking up the back tire and sliding to a stop.

Had a friend in primary school with a kiddie road bike. He wore his back tire down doing BMX slides so much that the inner tube poked out.

You’re still good until you hear a whap whap whap sound...

impressive lol

on me daily i once felt it rub at the back for a couple rotations...whilst i was slowing down to find out what the rub was all about it asploded....

must have been one hell of a sidewall failure to be rubbing the frame.... but i never saw it

Just flip the tire so the right is on the left. Plenty of life left

lol... i might have considered that on me daily...with its quick release wheels

on this one its enough of a pain in the arse to get the rear wheel out that im figuring a new tire is in order..... so i wont have to get the wheel out for another year or two

Most of your braking power comes from the front brake. You might want to get that fixed.
