Weakness:

Tread literally began seperating from main portion of tire.

This tire came standard on the rear of a new bike I purchased. After a couple of months of riding, I noticed that a section of the side wall began peeling away where it said "Rocket Ron." Upon further inspection, I noticed that it appeared to have been a manufacturing defect in which the "rocket ron" label was double labeled. In other words, one label was pasted/attached over another and had begun to fall off. A cosmetic issue of course, but then multiple leaks began to appear on the tread about a week later. Stan's began bubbling out until the tire went completely flat. The areas in question appeared at every third tread lug on the tire's right side. It appeared that the tread was attempting to seperate from the tire and exposed threads were also visible. I immediately contacted Schwable and they sent a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement has also begun to show signs of the same problem. I have decided to forgo using this tire any longer and have replaced it and the Nobby Nic on the front wheel with Maxxis

The Nobby Nics that came standard on the front of the bike has performed admirably.
