I was giving the bike a clean after the riding the Dartmoor Classic at the weekend and noticed the state of the tyres. I'm not really experienced enough to know whether this sort of damage/wear/whatever is acceptable or not, particularly with a triathlon this coming weekend.
The tyres are schwalbe ultremo R1, new in April, I can't be sure of the mileage, thought I wrote it down but no more than 400-500 max.
The first photo shows some sidewall damage to one of the tyres, which I would expect means it's scrap, this damage was what made me take a closer look to see all the other splits/cracks/trailing rayon in both tyres.
