To date they had covered approx 1750 miles.<\/p>\n<p>In that time I suffered one rear wheel puncture, not at all bad considering I was riding through the winter on the roads of Northamptonshire. The rear had gained quite a few nicks and small cuts but nothing worrying.<\/p>\n<p>However, the rear developed a carcass failure yesterday and is no longer rideable. The file pattern tread on the rear had worn smooth on the rear but was more visible on the front.<\/p>\n<p>Costwas \u00a0\u00a319.10 for the pair.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased with the puncture resistance, they were easy to fit to my campag rims, unlike Michelin Pro 3&#8217;s. They felt fast although this is quite a subjective feeling. However a carcass failure at 1750 miles is disappointing. I am now considering some Continental GP 4 Seasons, but at \u00a330 each they would need to last at least 5000 miles to be comparable!<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: After switching the front tyre to the rear it did another 1123 miles making ~2900 miles in total.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_623\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-623\" class=\"size-large wp-image-623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415-600x399.jpg\" alt=\"The front tyre after 1750 miles\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nrtoone.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/nex5_20140420_0009_sm-e1398017695415.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The front tyre after 1750 miles<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought a pair of 23mm Schwalbe Lugano tyres (folding variety) in December and fitted them initially to my track bike before switching them to the Rourke.
