Do I need new tyres - road bike

jamesd · 2014-04-06 16:28:37

Hi, Maybe a stupid question. Bike is about 2 years old, Not big mileage on it at all. I am 82Kg and always kept the tires at 110 pressure. I have asked 2 people and one said they were grand and the other asked were they gone bald.

lulz... Road bike tires don't need threads like a car and those tires just don't have any.

You don't need new tires imo. Only real problem with worn bike tires is they start to get puncture prone which is a pain if you're commuting and I suppose dangerous if you're hurtling down a mountainside.
