Panaracer sk tires...dont buy them

[Mike]

Jeez these are the worst tires iv ever used and I can be definitely sure I won't be using g them again!!

They are about 18mths old and had alittle use but the state of them for a premium tyre is shocking, so firstly you may remember me saying they had bubbled up inside! Now the one is so wonky I can't even use it with a tube in!! Never had this before in a tyre. What shocking poor quality they are!!

Have you contacted Panaracer Mike? I'm on my fifth GravelKing SK, in different colours/widths and, other than one not really holding air long term tubeless (I've found this with a few Panaracers down the years), they've been great - certainly no blistering or misshaping.

I've always had good results with the SKs. The slick ones are puncture magnets though

[Mike]

If I could remember where I bought them from I'd of sent it back, maybe I should contact panaracer first?

[Jurassic]

Mine have been great as well, in fact I'm just about to replace the rear with another new one. Maybe you've been unlucky Mike?

[FLV]

Mine were awful too.

Contact Zyro, the distributor.

18 months!! I'd be happy to get 12 months from a set of tyres, or 6 with continuous use.
It does sound like you have issues that might be covered by warranty, although a wonky tyre also sounds like it isn't seated correctly.

Panaracer like all tyre companies will make different versions of a tyre, usually cheaper versions for OE market such as the stuff you'll find on planetx and similar.

We have used several sets in two different bikes for over 4 years.

Then includes slate quarries in N Wales. TNR, Italy Divide

I would definately buy and use again

It is interesting how people's experiences are different. I've never had the SK version but I used the gravel king slicks for many thousands of Audax KM with no issue, using them tubeless when they weren't officially rated for that.
