Throttled Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 What do think? Replace now, or wait till the service in November, at most 2000 more miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think there's loads of life left on those. I am from Yorkshire though 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 What about this? Think the Newquay trip may have seen it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Tread wise the tyre looks fine. It does look a bit squared off though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) The tyre is pretty much on the wear marker. I would get it changed asap. The pads should last until service time. Edited June 27, 2023 by fullscreenaging 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I would replace the tyre. The pads should last another 2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Loads on the pads! The tyre should have been replaced 500 miles ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't 2k out of them. I usually wear mine out in 5k. But I tend to be heavy on the front brake. But the next service is in 2k so they would want replacing then or they won't make the next service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the wear marker in the middle of the photo and tyre, where the long tread is split by a cross piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be changed before being used again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullscreenaging Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The wear marker is 1mm deep. The tyre is fine in the dry, but should it rain when out on that, then the tread won’t be deep enough to displace the water efficiently and it could be squeaky bum time, so very smooth throttle needed.
