Tear in rear tire with only 1,800 miles, safe to keep riding?
I was doing an inspection on my Yamaha MT10 and while checking the tires, I noticed this tear on the rear. It’s about 2.5mm deep - no visible cords, etc and the tire is holding pressure.
Tire is the stock Bridgestone S22 - 2025 date code.
I have about 1,800 miles on these and am no where near needing new tires. In the 25 years I’ve been riding, I’ve never seen a tear like this on a tire.
My instinct is to run it and keep a close eye on it. Anyone else had experience with a tear like this? #activity source
