Default Been meaning to ask you, did you have any tire damage when you bent your rim?

My MXs have been really tough compared to previous tires, if you managed to bend that rim with no tire damage that's pretty impressive

Default Yeah, I really beat on them on my trip too.

I try to keep my stuff anchored down so I can go all out on the twisties, I did US 1 from the north end on a sunday morning, the first section reminded me of a loose autocross course, but ~30 minutes long instead of a minute.

I'd say they have at least 60-70% of the tread left. Need to check mileage logs and use a depth guage to be any more accurate.
