Wet Ears Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 My current tyres are starting to look worse for wear, is it worth putting new decent tyres on my MTB if most of my riding during lockdown will be on tar? Other option would be to stick it out on my dodge tyres or buy el cheapos which I use in the interim?

FirstV8 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Stick it out till the trails open . Im in the same situation with my rear tyre . Its got about 5000km on and the center tread is smooth , so pumped hard its good for road riding . Off road tyres wear faster on tar than off road .
Thomo Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 As kids we used to ride our BMX tyres until the canvass showed ... sometimes even the tube. LOL:DSuspect the same applies during lockdown.

A friend rides a 27.5 mtb.. mainly tar and jeep roads.. she is stubborn and wont go tubeless, makes me mad.. anyone have 1 or 2 new or used 27.5 tubeless tyres for cheap for her?

LOL:DSuspect the same applies during lockdown.those were the days...when you wore your bikes worn out components like a lifetime achievement award. it showed onlookers what your priorities were.You cant buy them like that...you have to earn it, and when you earned it...it showed that you knew what you were doing.
Wet Ears Posted May 11, 2020 Author Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks all, will be sticking it out, bought the tyres just in case I have a blow out but will aim to put them on only post lockdown
