Would you ride a tyre that looked like this?
rubber.exe has stopped working, the cracks are a sign that all the other good things about rubber will have gone down the tubes too, and quite likely the carcase too.
gbj_tester-
Yeah, got it off and had a peek from the inside and it's one of the older cotton carcass ones so both binned.
Stripped and refurbed a Mercian KoM for the outlaw sister so don't want her losing her face and blaming me. Idiot that sold her the bike mis-measured the top tube by an inch too so now unsure if it will fit her after putting in the work :(
Think it would have been less risky if it was a nylon carcass?

Would you ride a tyre that looked like this? Old Conti Top Touring 2000. Pretty nice Otherwise so seems a shame to waste it but not sure if it's a risk.
