I felt strange while riding. The rear tire was not rolling smoothly. I looked. There were cuts on the side of the tire, five of them, and the tube inside was coming out. Gee! I changed them last year in winter as brand-new, didn't ride much since then. Did they sell me an old one?
I had to change the tire right away, to "Marathon" of Schwalbe which I'd prepared, a very famous tough tire. Let's see if it actually is.
