    How the hell did you manage that?
  • Did you follow the maximum PSI ? It seems a bit weird that 3 have gone so quickly.
    Start Weight 18st 13lbs March 2009
    17st 10lbs August 2009
    17st 4lbs October 2009
    15st 12lbs December 2010

    Final planned weight 12st 7lbs

    i dont know how i managed it. 2 aqctually blew on me. 40psi - so not silly pressures. one was a rock i assume...not sure about the other.

    third one, I checked when i got home, held to the light and could see through the sidewall where the "panaracer" logo was raised.
    unbelievable.

    That's a shocker, these tyres are tough, never get punctures with them or splits at all.

    You got any photos?

    not of the two I lost on the trail but yes of the one with the light coming through the sidewall - will pop it up later when I get home from work.

    that's sletchy as hell! wonder if it's been a bad batch/compound. sounds daft but did you buy them from the same shop? maybe let them know too, it could be the entire batch they have is faulty?

    Yes, contact the shop as your contract of sale and any guarantee lies with them.

    Yes...bought them altogether - So could be a batch all suffering from the same problems. Trouble being I no longer have the receipt. And two are in bins in the middle of Afan. But I do have the one left. Whcih you can see is almost new from the tread on the tyre.

    Have I just been unlucky? Have others had any problems with these?

    The panaracer with the seethrough sidewall...

    The one of three I managed to photograph before throwing away in disgust!

    Jesus, that is terrible! I would be pretty pis$ed off too! Certainly worth contacting both the shop and panaracer.
