Bike is stored in the garage but no other special treatment is given (except maybe washing it once a year.) Mine have the Kevlar bead if that makes a difference. Sorry you've had this problem. Have you thought of contacting Panaracer?

thanks for your condolences. i actually had thought of contacting panaracer. but, i thought big corporation....me small fry. what would they even do? i'd have to show proof of purchase, take photos, send'em in, and all that jazz. in which case, the proof of purchase i didn't hang onto. even so, i suppose even if i contacted them now, the worst that could happen is they say "sorry....yer SOL"
