Hi all,
My Marin came with a set of "Maxxis Overdrive, 700 x 35c with Kevlar Inside Puncture Protection" and I've been very happy with them. After 2000 miles, and with me being a heavier rider who often commutes with a heavy set of panniers, the rear tyre is definitely starting to look like the tread is wearing (pics attached - hope they're clear enough - I've taken the front too for comparison).
My questions:
- How bad is the wear on the rear tyre? Am I nearing the end of it's life, or it is only 1/3rd of the way worn?
- If nearing the end of it's life, do most people simply replace the tyre, or should I swap it with the front tyre and wear them both?
Thanks,
MG
