Schwalbe G-one all round RG tire failure

[EMGX]

Tire has around 2000 miles on it and has been rotated, never run above 70psi which is the listed max. Was on the back, tire currently on the front looks OK. Mostly paved street miles but also ridden on coarse gravel. The knobs aren't worn that bad but the total thickness of the rubber including the knob is 1mm and only a fraction of a mm between knobs.
Replaced with continental double fighter which may not prove any more durable but at least cost $20 less.

I had 27.5 x 2.25 top inflation was 54 lbs . The tire I see looks about done to my eyes and possibly dry rotted too with all those little cracks. . I took mine off early just wasn’t impressed.

This tire is 700x40c, max pressure 70psi which is what I run it at. I agree, it looks dry rotted while the same tire on the front isn't. These are the original tires on my 3 year old BH gravel bike while 15 year old Schwalbe big apple tires on another bike don't have dry rot/cracking and I can't seem to wear them out. Also have several year old Schwalbe marathons as well as a Schwalbe cruiser tire without any problems that wear like iron. Maybe just a one off bad tire but I don't plan on buying another G-one.

Reminds me of the G-Ones I bought when they first came onto the market. I can't remember what the mileage was, but it wasn't a lot. The photo shows the rear tire. The front tire looked great, with very little wear.
It took me a while to realize that the tire was disintegrating because I had fenders on the bike.

Happy ending update thanks to excellent Schwalbe warranty and customer service.
I submitted a warranty claim including required photos and purchase info yesterday, today Schwalbe sent email indicating that they are sending me a new tire.
As an FYI there wasn't anything rubbing on the tire and it wasn't worn thru with chunking like DBs tire image above. Further the other tire is still in very good condition without any evidence of dry rot, cracking or other damage and the tires had been rotated at least twice to keep wear even.
Very pleased as I liked the smooth rolling and good traction performance on paved, hard pack dirt and gravel. I'll use the double fighter for another bike that has a many years old Specialized Armadillo that has developed a sidewall bulge.
