Jan_K Posted December 2, 2014 Share This photo was taken two months ago, tearing has since worsened a lot, the tears have also started "eroding". Have had the Mary on the bike since mid July (on the front from the start), doing 200-300km per month, trails only. So this photo was taken at ~3 months and ~750km. Will take another photo tonight.

marko35s Posted December 2, 2014 Share Thanks Jan_K That is quite bad tearing, how are yours looking?For reference Ben's ones look annoyingly new still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted December 2, 2014 Share They not SG are they, the ones from easybike, just normal Evo snakeskin?These ones here: www.easybike.co.za/schwalbe-hans-dampf-evo-snakeskin-pacestar-26-x-2-35-tl-ready.htmlAnyone that can confirm these are SG as Capricorn seems to be implying?

Super_mil Posted December 2, 2014 Share They could be as the SG Schwalbe tyres get the gold lettering (as per the tyre in the pic), but it could also be an incorrect picture... The SG option refers to the tyres carcass and in the add you reference they say Snakeskin EVO, so I don't think they are the SG option. I'm currently running a 2.35 HD TrailStar up front with a PaceStar on the rear (also got them from EasyBike for the same price and they are not SG). The tyres have been good but I have also noticed the tears staring to show up on the front tyres side knobs (very similar to the pic in Jan_K's post above). None have torn off as yet. Been happy with the tyres thus far. Edited December 2, 2014 by Super_mil Skylark and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted December 2, 2014 Share That is quite bad tearing, how are yours looking?For reference Ben's ones look annoyingly new still.Mine has only started tearing a little bit. its suffering more general wear and tear than tearing. I'll post up pics tonight. Just hope i remember to do just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 2, 2014 Share Anyone that can confirm these are SG as Capricorn seems to be implying? I wasn't implying the Easybike offerings were SG. Rather, I was encouraging you to get them in SG. But if you can't, its not a problem. R500 a Schwalbe tyre is pretty good local pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R500 a Schwalbe tyre is pretty good local pricing.Would love to get the SG ones, only avail online self import at the moment probably nearer R1k a tyre I reckon, must be really nice being able to drop the press so low though. This whole tearing knobs off, which seems to often happen at the base of the knob, is related to the underlying compound not the softer top compound, the softer compound is a relatively thin layer over the base compound which is the same on all the HDs incl the SG. But to my original question, am I being dof not going trailstar on the front, seems not much wear difference over the pacestar on the front but noticeably grippier?

Capricorn Posted December 2, 2014 Share This the Maxxis HR II 3C EXO i've been running as a rear tyre for about 3 months. Look at the state of the side knobs, look familiar? Edited December 3, 2014 by Capricorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
