I was doing my pre-ride glances and noticed this line across my rear tire. Its oddly straight and goes directly across to the other side perfectly 90 degrees from the rim. I dont think its vandalism because its just TOO straight. I put my card into it to get a feel for the depth and its < the depth of normal tred.
I cant promise that its not as old as the bike, but as some of you know i keep really tight tabs on my bike and i feel like if it was old i wouldve noticed it far sooner. It probably doesnt haven an effect on anything and isnt posing a risk but im paranoid and due for a fresh tire anyways.
Leave it on and dont worry or get a new and stickier tire to squid around on? If the latter, who is the recommended tire dealer/mounter for the club? ALSO should you guys recommend replacement i wanted to talk about what tire to get mounted. Although i want the stickiest tire humanly possible the fact of the matter is i spend 80% of this bike's life commuting in a semi-straight line. in the past 4 weeks ive logged 1.5k miles so mileage is a variable for a poor college student. Im willing to lay the dollars down for a dunlop or similar quality but wanted to hear from more experinced riders about this topic.
At least i didnt ask what oil to buy? :P
