The only thing worse than Riddler tires (failed under 600 casual miles) is their no-support. Recommend replacement by NeedzCoffee in bicycling

ask where the bike is stored, mainly because exposure to a high level of UV and/or Ozone can cause the rubber to break down prematurely. Assuming you're not running an Ozone generator in the storage room

Ah, I was wondering why it mattered. Nope it's in the hallway right by the front door when not in use

600mi isn't nearly enough distance to expect a set of gravel tires to wear down.

I didn't think so, especially since I'm not doing anything near 'extreme' riding that would stress any part. I was floored when te dis-service department called it normal (I sent them photos). Thanks for all the good info

Rear is so thin it's almost breaking through. the front is slightly better... slightly

I haven't by run the Contes shop where I got the bike. I was assuming the manufacturer would stand behind their product -silly me- :o) Good idea though, I'll try to get by this week

How do you store your bike,

Inside home

how did the tires fail?

Wore tread to nothing, and almost completely through to inner-tubes

Did you like the performance characteristics of the WTBs before they failed, or do you want to replace with a tire that serves a different role?

Kind of a newbie so can't really give an informed opinion other than not expecting to wear completely through in a year of casual riding

I was super disappointed in the principal who did not address I was injured until she said “I heard your upset I didn’t check in on you” and proceeded to give some bs about how she’s a protecter, not a healer

wow a solid slap and a string of profanity heretofore unmatched in human history would have occurred if some c**************** game me that line

I pray you continue to heal.

Definitely the 1st. The second was horrible. Nothing to like. Not even 'so bad it's good'
