huh, little segments of 4-x6mm of tread.
then the price went high for a while.
stretching now are 23 Rally’s - not a loved tire, been aging and I purchased them at a terrific price. My disappoint are four Vittoria pista tires
only one holds air, I will have to send them all off for new tubes really a bummer new tires that the tube fitzed
My current chalice is the Rally, but in the 25 width, fits just barely in both frames/forks. I wish the Giros were still the same as in the past, I used them for several years with no issues at all. Rode them when I met up with some of the Boston folks for a ride around the Bunker Hill area one frigid day, no flats or any other troubles. The last set I tried started the same chunking off you describe almost immediately. Far too easy to puncture too, got tired of changing out for the spare just to get home.
