Hi all,

I have had four punctures on my Bear 650 rear tyre in the past four months (3600 km done so far). The last one was last week, and as I type this, I'm sitting out in the boondocks waiting for a truck to come pick my bike up. Each time it has been a nail or a large thorn. The absence of a centre stand makes fixing a puncture a real pain, especially since there is no tubeless option for the Bear. I own four other motorcycles, and I have never had a similar issue on any of them.

I have the stock MRF Nylorex installed at the back. The rear tyre looks absolutely fine to the eye. Do you all think there could be something wrong with my tyre that could render it more puncture prone?

TLDR: 4 punctures in 4 months over 3600 kms. Is my rear tyre made of chewing gum?
