Perishing cracks in UST tyres


Robrider

Recommended Posts

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.
