The manual says that 2mm is the minimum tread depth before the tire should be replaced. What do most of you guys let your tire wear to before a new one is installed? My rear Kings 967 is at 4mm @4000 miles so I need to start thinking about a replacement I guess. Brad __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

"Worn-out" is only a state of mind - it's a very subjective thing.

If you are a cheap ass, change it when it's bald. I would rather have peace of mind knowing I can ride in the rain much safer.

I'll let the rear get considerably less than that, but don't let the front get under 2 mm. Yesterday I replaced my rear K750 (the third on this bike) and the tread depth in the center of the tire was just a bit under 1 mm after 6,970 miles. Dreas Nielsen

Dreas, Thanks. Why would you let the rear wear more than the front? Brad --- Dreas Nielsen wrote:
