Oh dear. Anyone read RiDE's article?
Makes alarming reading...Or is it just scare-mongering for the sake of a good story?

I haven`t read it but I wouldn`t trust remoulds from what I`ve heard about them

Whats the point???

Wasn't it one of our own media tarts who starred in a recent RiDE article, when his remould tyre shredded at speed?

Aha!

I have yet to read it, but I believe it involves a certain mate of mine, an Exup and, well, shall we say peeling?????

All true. Made a nasty mess of that nice mans hugger too.

Didn't put him off them though.

Probably is scaremongering, the big tyre manufacturers are a
powerful bunch evidently. Anyway as LMR says 'Whats the
point?', remoulds are'nt hugely cheaper than proper tyres are
they? No thankyou very much.

I know of somebody who races quite successfully on remoulds. However I would personally never use a remoulded tyre that hadn't been designed from the outset as remouldable. Too risky.


I can understand people who want to race on them cos lets face it, you don`t expect tyres to last long when racing anyway.........................and they`ll always be an amulance nearby should it shread permaturely

NOT FOR ROAD USE IMHO

Maybe for city-commuting only, or possibly track use but when cornering hard with a lot of hard stuff (i.e. trees) on the outside of the bend I wouldn't like to skimp on the only thing thats keeping the bike on the correct line.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
