My commute bike has the same original chunky tyre on the front that it
has had for years. The back tyre is a £15 Specialized Crossroads that
has been on for between 12-18 months, and when I had a look at it at
the weekend it was full of cracks. The bike does about 15 miles /
week in all weathers. Should I expect the tyre to last longer than
this? The previous back tyre (different make) expired in a similar
way - do back tyres naturally deteriorate much quicker because they
are doing the driving? If this is 'normal' then I may as well get my
next tyre from Asda.
