Do they need replacing?

[Throttled]

What do think? Replace now, or wait till the service in November, at most 2000 more miles?

I think there's loads of life left on those. I am from Yorkshire though 

 

 

 

[Mickly]

What about this?

Think the Newquay trip may have seen it off

Tread wise the tyre looks fine. It does look a bit squared off though.

The tyre is pretty much on the wear marker. I would get it changed asap. 
 

The pads should last until service time.

Pads look fine, tyre is almost down to wear marker.

I think exactly the same. But so am I

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

I would replace the tyre. 

 

The pads should last another 2k.

6k if you don't brake slot

 

Depends on riding style as to how long you will get.

Loads on the pads! 

 

The tyre should have been replaced 500 miles ago

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.

Is the wear marker in the middle of the photo and tyre, where the long tread is split by a cross piece?

Probably, I did 950 miles over 3 days and before I started could just about detect the wear bands with my finger nail.

It will be changed before being used again.

Indeed it is

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.

Unfortunately the wear marker is worn

Your pads are fine, plenty left on them,

More than I can say about my front tyre!!

Got back from a 1000 mile 3 day blast,  and we had a brief rain shower!!!
