All,
I think the side wall wearing is the point and that will be high-lighted
when a low pressure, not a quality tube, ageing, bad manners when
installing and a wrong tube size.

Also, consider using Nitrogen instead of air. There are many obvious
benefits.

Hi All,
Jim's comments prompted my to share some additional thoughts. I found
that my new tyre "stood taller" than the one I replaced. My theory is
that the old tyre was run at low pressures so long that the side walls
lost their strength. I think the design pressure for this tyre is
something like 35 psi.
The other comment was that I did loose one inner tube to slippage, and
two tubes to side wall wear so I increased my running pressure to around
22 ~ 24 psi. I used to have a maker on the side, but I forgot to put in
on this time so thanks for the reminder.
I do have a question to the forum. is is possible to seal the split rim
and turn it into a tube less configuration ?
Paul
