Default 300 miles

My bike almost 2 months new , 300 hard almost all trail miles, half of which rocky and full of ruts going up, my tires looks like almost halfway thru it's life. Wonder how much longer this will last. Great on trails, inspires confidence. Trackmaster 2 .

Your tire life calculator is calibrated to a much lower tolerance than mine! They look barely scrubbed in to me....

What year is your bike? My 2012 has a different rear tire.

It's a 2012 but I replaced the tires right away.

Lol. The middle spikes are worn. The sides still look like new. makes me wonder what will it look like after 600 miles.

Doesn't look very worn to me... well, maybe just a little. I have 1,600 or so miles on my STOCK tires, and they look about as worn as yours. Most of my riding has been on the street, since I busted my collar bone after only having my bike a few weeks. Hoping to get more off-road riding in this summer...

You might want to go to a harder compound tire! 600 miles is NOT an acceptable tire lifespan in my book...

I wish my back tire looked that Good. If I pay for shipping can I have all your "half worn out tires" from now on? LOL

HAHAHA beat me too it Deej; I'd air those down to 12-14 psi and use them until those spikes go flat

Thanks. Maybe because I'm at 16 psi.
