I've got a Hutchinson Intensive (one of the recommended tyres) on my rear wheel and I love it, it has lots of grip. The tyre's now done ca 800 miles and has threads sort of unwinding round the tyre circumference on one side just above the rim. It looks like about a 2-3 mm depth of tyre has lost threads round the circumference and that in some areas the main upper of the tyre may be separating.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with any tyres or know what could be causing this? I had a Conti tyre loose a few threads once but nothing like this.
Finally I obviously need to replace this (annoying at such an early stage). Can someone recommend a nice grippy puncture resistant tyre that comes on 25 mm?
Thanks in advance for any help.
