Michelin Wild Enduro issue [Warranty?]

[ozzybmx]

Sigh. Sadly you're right...

My Deviate was delayed by ~6 months, the brand new tyres were upgraded in the parts box

Ironically, they were then upgraded to Wild Enduros after 2 months.

I got an update from Pushys on my tyres.

Michelin claim it's from sitting there unused for a prolonged period... Which is in line with some others' comments - but still a bit shit considering no other tyres have ever done this no matter the time frame of being unused... On or off the bike.

Great tyres when new, but really disappointing from such a high profile company in the rubber world.

Even my riding shoe soles (NW Clan) and car tyres (Pilot Sport 4) are Michelin and they're both fantastic!

What's their proposed life expectancy of the tyre?

I’ll take all your useless 13 minute old WE’s. I’m down to my last 10 spares.

Hardly surprising when looking at their bicycle tyre website.

Considering they the 2nd biggest tyre manufacturer on the planet, its pretty shithouse.

Who's the biggest?

I think he's referring to all tyres or car tyres as well as bike tyres. Apologies if you are too

This tyre lasted more than 6 years in challenging conditions. Brand unknown.

After six years, Indonesia’s tyre-bound crocodile freed

The roughly four-metre crocodile had generated sympathy among some who feared the tyre might eventually choke the reptile as it grew in size. It had proved very difficult to capture.

I wonder how many psi he runs.

I wonder how many psi he runs.

None. He swims mostly.

Buoyancy aid?

Buoyancy aid?

Like all those tyres at the bottom of the lake?

None. He swims mostly.

Since it's you:

But how quickly can they run? Most crocodiles can achieve speeds of around 12 to 14 kph for short periods

@Mattyp wonders why he doesn't own a gauge...
