New Tire Day - Semperit
Finally wore out a pair of tires on my 80's (?) Austro-Daimler Pathfinder. I have about 2,000 miles on the bike since buying it from the original owner 5 months ago. They were "Semperit - Made in Austria" so it's possible they were original. The tread wore off, but was in good shape; the sidewalls showed UV damage, and parts of the bead crumbled where the tire iron made contact.
I went with Kenda K35, since I haven't had too many problems with flats, and wanted to see if they would be a cheap but serviceable solution.

I remember those. Had them on my Ted Williams 10 speed. Great tires. Ran them into the ground.
