AkuskaUK Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi, Quick question; why does the wording on Continental tyres seem to "Rub" off and leave a yellow smudge? Is it just a vinyl? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persistant_itch Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 my maxxis does it too, I think it's just a case of low quality printing onto the tyre or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I would've thought it's because rubber itself wears away, so anything painted onto it will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbikingnunn Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) It usually rubs off because of the amount that the tyre compresses when you do moves, especially sidehops. The tyre just rubs on itself which in turn rubs and smudges the graphics Edited September 8, 2013 by trialsbikingnunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what happened to (I think) Stans bike then? Was a while ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
