Is this weird?
Four bikes in parent’s garage. All the Continental tyres (GP4k and Four seasons) do the below. Panaracer, Vittoria and Specialized tyres fine. In London I only ride Conti and they’ve never done this, bikes are in my flat. What’s happening? Conditions?
It’s annoying as I deliberately buy premium tyres to keep my mum on the bike!
They get used, probably 40-50 miles a week. But run at a lower pressure than perhaps they should. I’d like to get wider tyres but I don’t think the frame would accommodate.
