Seeing as the sun is set to be putting an appearance in today, I thought it would be nice to get the best bike out of hibernation, so on Saturday afternoon I started giving it a once over & inflate the tyres, this is where I noticed a small split in the tread of the rear tyre, I wasn't impressed, but was even less impressed to find a similar sized split in the front one too, they were about 3mm long & at about 45 degrees angle using both side walls as 0 & 180 degree marks, they definitely weren't there when the bike was cleaned up prior to going away, these are supposed to be top quality tyres, surely they can't deteriorate like this over winter, I won't be getting any more of this brand, I'm sure they are only about 2 years old at the very most, luckily I had 2 spare Michelin Lithion 2's in a 25mm so I could swap them, however it was a nice ride out today in the sun, & it was really nice not to have to wear loads of layers just bibs & short sleeve jersey.
