These are new tyres but they were used by the previous owner on track, do I need to change them?

Yes, they're completely unusable, dangerous even.


Get some new ones; you can send the old ones to me so I can dispose of them properly Whistle

Wait until they look like this:

Then ride another 150 miles on them, then you'll need new ones.

At least, that's what a mate of mine did two weekends ago Neutral .

Aye. If you think the tyres bad, you should have seen the mess it made of the road, all melty and rutted Laughing.

No, he's called Flipper on account of the way it keeps spitting him off the back. Obviously nobody other than Chuck Norris could ride on such a machine and hope to stay on it all the time.

A few road miles and they'll look like any other road tyre. My suggestion would be to go really slow everywhere, trying not to lean then park up in visible places so people can see your shredded tyres, if anyone asks just say you like to ride hard on the road Cool
