Are tires on borrowed time?
My tires, which are the original set have almost 1,700 miles on them. They are pretty bald, the rear has a side wall injury from a accident I had last year & the side wall on both is starting to seperate from the rest of the tire. It is to the point where if I take a pair of needle nose I can finish seperating the side wall from the rest of the tire body, at least one layer of it anyway.
Yes I need new ones. I've known that so that is not the concern.
The concern is should I continue to ride on them until I get the new tires? Or in your opinions is it to unsafe to do so?
The thing I'm afraid of is having a blow out on a down hill in traffic.
What would you do?
If it is suggested that I wait I can get them by the weekend so I can ride. It is supposed to be beautiful this weekend here in Siouxland.
Thanks.
