There are any number of possible ozone sources near where I store the bike, and I don't doubt that they're exacerbating the sidewall deterioration. However, when I looked them up on roadbikereview.com, I found that others had the same experience, right down to the cuts in the tread. After posting, I examined the rear wheel more closely, and found many cuts, though only a couple that make the belt visible. The front wheel has cuts too! I'm sure that my long, 1.5" stone driveway doesn't help either. Barry -- Rick Onanian |

I have the same tire (with Kevlar though).....they are all cracked too ...
I am used to Continental and never had a similar problem.... I did take the Hutchinson because my bicycle reseller did cary Conti anymore.....well I will go back to Conti or Michelin next time. -- Mike "Rick Onanian" a écrit dans le message de news: ... Opinions wanted on 700x23 tires. I've got Hutchinson Carbon Comps that are a couple years old but only 150 miles, rather cracked and rotted, and I've just found a cut in the tread that shows the belt. When I checked their reviews on roadbikereview.com, a whole bunch of people had the same experience. I guess these are race tires, not training / everyday tires. They came on the bike, and I like their ride, handling, and weight. Any suggestions for a good ride, good handling, light weight tire that takes 125 psi or more? -- Rick Onanian |
