I have just recently made my first tire change. I was just curious how far everyone went before they had to switch tires. My rear tire's centerstripe was at the mark in the tread on the unbalanced side when at 7470 mi. Any contenders?? lol

you stud!

It does depend on your tire compound and ridding style, I have rarely worn out a rear and think I have only done it once. Mine have all fallen victims of the dreaded nail or other road hazard [&o]

Nothing like getting a nail on a tire with 500 miles on it[:@]
