Motorbike tyre

For any bike nuts out there... My rear tyre tread depth is now flush with the tread wear indicator, (the middle section only) how many more miles would you think is ok before dangerous? Its a sports touring tyre.

 

Got a 300 mile round trip this weekend, bikes a cbr600.

I think by asking the question you probably all ready know the answer.

 

In reality though it isn't going to be anymore dangerous than it has been for the past 300 miles. However with the wetness of the roads at the moment the tyre will be struggling to get upto temperature to maintain full grip.

 

The tyre tread will displace the water whereas the rubber will actually give the grip (look at slicks)

 

Your life, your decision at the end of the day. I've done stupider things and probably will do in the future. If it were me and I could afford it I'd do it.

Thats what I wanted to hear, but I supose I should get it changed because of the road conditions at the moment.

 

It won't be a fast ride josh just a boring run along the m4,a34,m3,m27 :thumbdown:

Motorway riding. Just right for a puncture then. If your on the marks the tyre is thin. No point risking it on a bike. £120 quid now. How much time off work / lost money if you come off. Bike safe.

i would get it changed mate, especially if ur doing motorway miles, nothing like it to square a tyre off, also road conditions aint exactly nice at moment, i'd want a bit of tread to shiftt the water out from under the rubber

 

Use your noodle man....change it...this is the best advice on this thread so far....!!

it s not you I am worried about bit the muppets inside their nice warm trucks with music on , phone against ear and a coffee nestling in the lap...blissfully unaware of anyone elses reality....

Dont be the cause of a serious incident.:sad:

It's not the ride that kills you. It's the stopping when you eventually hit something. Get it changed.would you use your c/saw if you had an idea something was wrong and it might just bite you?
