There are wear indicators in the treads of the tire. If they are even with the surface than you need to replace the tire.

Look in the treads of the tire. They are small raised surfaces in the tread itself.

Always run the stock size tires on a bike if you have stock wheels. How is your front tire? it's always best to replace the tires as a set, but if your front tireis very good then you should be ok, but try to match them up.

Unless you are a knee dranger or a bike time leaner then the center of the tires are always going to wear way more then the rest.
