I’d have tossed them too.

Life is too short to constantly be messing around with tires. There are few things more frustrating than walking into the garage only to find out that you have to mess around with with your tires before riding, again.

Being unable to ride solo away from phone service is a dealbreaker. I wouldn’t trust those RH tires. For me, weeping sidewalls is a sign that tires are worn out and need replacing, even if they have tread left.

Look into the Gravelking. I’ve ridden the SK and SS and both are great.
