About four weeks ago I put a new pair of Vittoria Corsa Graphene 25mm tyres onto a pair of road wheels and have done under 500 miles since, always on-road and in the dry. They've been properly inflated and not been rubbing, yet the sidewall is peeling.
However, on moving the wheels between bikes today I noticed both tyres have evidence of the sidewall peeling. On one it's just starting and on the others there's several patches where it's peeled, leaving the carcass exposed:
Would they be safe to ride on? Can they be repaired?
Note: I'm not taking any chances with them, so they've been put on the For Sale board for a beer tokens donation.
