You do have a little bit left though if you need it i went down to the metal on mines before even if it goes flat its not like its going to pop on you

you need to find more corners it will help to get a more even wear rate

It looks like you locked up and slid about a mile! Do a burn out and finish it off for good!

ha ha ha! some of you guys are hilarious...

That is the rear tire on my Goldwing.

I took it in to get inspected yesterday and the mechanic told me it failed! I was like WTH are you talking about. He said come look.

I was pretty embarrassed. I check the air once a week..... I guess I better start actually looking at the tire too.[&:]

20K on the wing... 10,900 on that tire. I put it on last July 14th... I was hoping it would last just a little bit longer.
