I took a long ride this weekend (400+ miles round trip) and at a stop I noticed something on my rear tire (Pirelli Angel ST). I put my finger on it but it wouldn't come off. Then I looked closer...
Yep, that's cord. I'm surprised that it's so localized. Maybe I flatspotted the tire when I locked up my rear brake once?
The front tire looks like this. It's sort of near the wear bar, I think.
I'm leaning towards replacing both tires. I'm not sure of their overall mileage, but they were in pretty good shape when I purchased the bike a little under 2 years ago. I've put about 7k on them myself. Twisties are pretty far away from me so a lot of it is just slab riding. What do you say - replace both tires or just one?
