Yesterday, at 16mph and with 70psi in them, one of a pair of brand new CtitFastSt.26x1.25 tires had the casing seperate from the wire bead resulting in a M-80 sound and one trashed tire.
Fortunately, it was the rear tire.
I removed the front tire as well when I got home and there's clear evidence the same malfunction was in the process of occuring on that one as well.
Cost/Replacement aside, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered casing failures with Performance tires.
Obviously I won't try my luck with them again and have ordered some Panaracer pasela TGs from another source.
