I just hit 1100 miles today, Shes finally broken in...after riding 110 miles today, I managed to pick up a nail....Now ive got to buy a new rear tire....Dammit...

Anyone else have this happen before knows it sucks..

[Catenaccio]

My record for picking up a nail and ruining a brand new tire was 43 miles. Ticked me off.

Whilst you're spending money, may as well take the opportunity to change both tyres to something else!

You dont have to buy a new tyre. The old one can be repaired by a competent person witha plug. I ve managed to get over 5,000 km out of a pluged tyre with no worries.

[charoli]

depends on where the puncture is on the tyre, always a disclaimer with puncture repairs as they are meant to be 'temporary'

Welp after ANOTHER 1100 miles on my rear tire....Another nail!!!!

[Phelan]

Dude, maybee you should consider actually trying to miss some of these nails?

joke!

Bad luck buddy, it happens to all of us!

Are the standard factory fit tires that bad? Or is it that there are better tires out there for the same price. I'll be needing a new set shortly. Will have to start looking about.

No, they're not that bad. It's mainly a matter of personal preference.

Sport Rider Magazine actually gave the stock tires a very good rating in their tire comparison.
