I wouldn’t but as long as it’s holding air it should be good for one more depending on the terrain.

Do you value $70 or your well-being more?

Time to start shopping for a new tire.

Only on rear and only in dry conditions. It’s very hard rubber and fast rolling.

Send images to Maxxis and see what they say. Wondering if this was a manufacturing issue.

Mine looks like that. Still holding air so I’m still riding it!

I don’t think you should be that concerned, the rubber compounds are separating, I’ve seen it happen on vittoria tires, it’s never caused a crash or a life altering injury. There’s a layer of tpi fibres and a layer of rubber under the tpi fibres. Ride it until you don’t want to or until it gets a puncher in the side wall 🤣

Technically no, but I’d ride them.

in a straight line i guess… any awkward landing or corner its probly gonna tear through completely and then ur SoL of course cuz its not even gonna hold a tube like that. cant even brace a tear that big with a boot/bill.
not worth riding on that when jenson has oem stock for like 40 bucks right now…
