 Cheap tires that just aint worth it. This picture was on my way to manila. I was just about to deflate my tires prior to checking it in at the counter at Tacloban airport when I discovered that my front sidewall tire had ruptured. If you zoom in closer and you'll see the interior exposed interior. Thank God I was already on my way home other wise my entire bike trip/our would have been spoiled or worse I got in an accident due to equipment failure. |

brad Jake!
Try to invest in tires since you also use your bike to commute to work.

used to have these tires on my bike they are so d@mn hard to mount on my rims, nearly broke two tire levers just mounting one tire!!! Yup jake thank goodness you were on your way home already otherwise this could have been quite a hazard on the road. These tires are not that cheap also so I was expecting more out of the Man Gold!!!

If I may suggest, I've had good performance out of continental city rides, a bit pricey but tough as nails!!!
