WHY are you replacing your tubes? No reason for it. Tubes don't wear with miles. They will wear with age, but we're talking a decade here.

Brother, tubes are so cheap you may as well swap them with the tires just as a precaution.

A precaution against what? A flat?
IceNein@reddit
Do you believe that rubber tubes last forever?

Let me quote myself:
"They will wear with age, but we're talking a decade here."
Learn to read, dummy. Quit being an ass.

Yeah, I guess you’re right. If you don’t have the money to replace the cheapest wear item on your bike, I guess you could save a little that way.

"There was a small pin in the tire and tube"
It has a hole in it.

A tire that wears out in 750 miles is either poorly constructed, over-inflated, or being subjected to extreme conditions.
I'd bet on over-inflation based on tread wear pattern.

Thats crazy. I have 7500 miles on my tires and they are still good. Original on my $1400 ebike from 2022.

Id say that your case is an outlier.
AMC879@reddit
As is yours.

JFC, they must've been some super shitty tyres!
I have double that on my CST Big Boats and am barely halfway through the tread so far.

They were the stock XP tires. Hoping the new ones last a bit longer.
CrashTestPhoto@reddit
I would hope so!
What kind of terrain are you riding mostly?

Not to criticize but you should have gone with Ultraverse tires, another set of cheap, stock knobbies is only good for 1500 miles, if that. consider them for next time
