    Tire help

    Ok, bike experts This may seem kind of dumb, but I really have no idea.
    How do I know when/if I need new tires for my MTB? I've had it for 3 years. Is there anything special to look for on the tire to know it needs to be replaced?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! I just took my bike in for a tune up, and didn't look at the tires too closely. The guy at the LBS called me and said that the tire blew out after he fully inflated it. So I guess it was time to replace them.
