+1. Especially on a front tyre, don't take the risk of it going bang and you taking a tumble over the bars etc.,.sogood wrote:Casing = Replace.

I'm gonna retire the wheelset and tyres soon anyway. Would I be safe with sticking a tyre patch on the inside just for tomorrow. I don't really wanna start a new tyre only to take it off after tomorrow.

You haven't read the Sheldon link. You don't put the rear tyre anywhere except the bin. In fact he recommended not rotating at all and just replacing the tyres as required.QuangVuong wrote:Already swapped tyres around. I guess I left the rear on for too long before chucking it out front. I've done 500km since switching front and rear.

A patch on the inside wouldn't serve any purpose. The tube holds the air, the tyre (and rim, and rim tape) holds the tube. The carcass of the tyre is the bit that holds the tube, the rubber on the surface only provides grip (and the first layer of puncture resistance).
It depends on whether you need maximum grip tomorrow, not forgetting that the mould release on a new tyre would take a while to wear off too and until then grip would be compromised.

I always like to buy tyres in sets of three so I have two rears.Nobody wrote:Back tyre should be the worn one. New tyre should go on the front, old front to the rear, rear to the bin for best safety. That way you only ever wear out the rear. Unless of course you run different tyres on the front and rear.

I always like to have at least one tyre spare, that's all. New goes to the front and front goes to the rear while rear goes to bin.thearthurdog wrote:I always like to buy tyres in sets of three so I have two rears.

Now, so with the 3 tyre rotation, what should it be? Two for the rear, and stick with the same front. Or as what sogood suggests.

Start with 3 new tyres.
Put one on the front and one on the rear.
Ride.
Replace worn out rear tyre with the unused one.
Ride.
Buy three new tyres and start again.
Half worn but old front tyres are good to use on stationary trainers.
Cheers,
Cameron

Sogood is right. Fit new units F&R, when rear is shot bin it and put the front on the rear and the new unit out front.QuangVuong wrote:I have finally retired the tyres and wheelset afer yesterdays ride. It was my first time actually using up a tyre as well.

The front wheel is what keeps you upright and safe, it should always have the best tyre on it.
