Goodbye Specialized tires, may you rot in hell.

Three major sidewall tares and several minor ones in 300 miles?! Never had such catastrophic tire failures as this in the past 24 years of riding. One sidewall tare = shit happens. Two sidewall tares = unlucky. Three sidewall tares = a pattern. More than that and I start to remember why I stopped buying Specialized tires the first time, back in the 90s.

Too bad because the rode great, just too delicate to ride off road. Which is naturally ironic because, you know, these are mountain bike tires.
