Do mountain bike tires go bad?
Tires never go back. They can crack and such, but I still rode tires from 1984 until they wore out on my commuter. It’s not like they’ll explode or anything. Well, the original tires on my 1988 Trek 850 MTB did semi-disintegrate from age last year, the sidewalls got cracked & crumbly.
Should I replace both bicycle tires at the same time?
Q: Should I replace both bicycle tires at the same time? You do not need to replace both of your bike tires at the same time.
