Are people actually reporting premature sidewall deterioration with the Jack Browns? I've had sidewall problems with tan Paselas like others have reported, but the sidewalls of the Jack Brown I'm using now look fine after thousands of sometimes harsh miles have worn off most of the black rubber. While Paselas and Jack Browns are similar designs made by the same company, I suppose the Jack Brown construction may be different enough not to suffer the problem, or perhaps the Pasela problems were mostly just a bad batch or two.
> What is a skinwall made out of, anyway? The tan color is just the natural color of rubber. Black and other colors result from additives to the rubber compound, which can also change the tire's wear, traction, and stiffness. The natural tan rubber is supposed to be more flexible or "subtle". --Brian Hefferan On Nov 12, 11:54 pm, Earl Grey <earlg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Inspired by a comment of Paselas wearing out prematurely because of > skinwall deterioration and my recent purchase of 2 Jack Browns, is > there a way to keep skinwalls from disintegrating prematurely?
