Robrider Posted August 18, 2011 Share Hey guys, My girlfriends Maxxis Monorail UST tyre has fine hairline cracks running lengthways down the tyre. They appear to be caused by perishing- they don't look like they are cuts or anything like that. There is no loss of air or leaking of sealant. I also suspect it has been this way for a while. The tread is still got quite a lot on it, I would say 50% at least, and it would be nice to keep them running for a while longer. So are these cracks confined to the outer layer? ( would assume so because there is no leaking yet)Is this going to suddenly and catastrophically explode?Or is it safe to keep riding? I know Maxxis have a rep for being robust, but I don't know if this is serious or not. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
