So I was trying to get every mile out of my rear tire till X-mas but I think im out of time. I didn't notice it but a friend did I started to get a bald spot and it was starting to show cords. Its a good thing he noticed it when he did because I still had a little bit to ride home. I got luckey on this one because it didn't pop when we were riding today.

ehh yeah i think tires are one thing i wouldn't push over the limit. changing oil or lubing the chain is one thing, tires are another. that's just me though.

The funny thing is they were just getting there. The cords are just in a small patch. I think when i bought theb ike they must of put a flat spot on it.

the tire is'nt about to pop when cords are showing, it still has a bit left to it. I was drag racing and had cords show up, did a couple more passes, went home and then burned the tire off and it still took a few min of spinning before it popped.

Yeah tires have multiple layers of rubber that surround each and every cord... its not that safe to ride on one but y just need to know not to push it to far!
