Defective tire
My brother bought a valkyrie with a CT installed. The dealer noticed a bubble in the side of the tire. Has anyone else had defective tires and did you replace them, return them, or ride them till they wore out?

Re: Defective tire
If its really defective, I would replace it with another C/T. Why ride on a tire that might get you killed. I would go to a car tire shop and let them take a look at the tire. Then if they say yes its bad, get a new one from them. I have only seen two bad c/t in 40+ years of using them on cars and the last 6 years on my bike.

Re: Defective tire
Rarely...almost NEVER...hear of a CT on a bike have a factory fault; we just don't have enough weight to harm them - that said, there are defects,
and I'd not ride one either. Plugs, I'm okay with; have plugged MANY truck tires and never had a fail. Bubbles? Suicide, IMO.

Re: Defective tire
I agree, the tire is what keeps your ass from sliding down the road, replace it ASAP I'm kinda a freak about tires anyways, I replace them after 3 years no matter how much tread is left on them.

The bubbled sidewall is a bad sign... I'd replace ASAP!
