John, it looks like you still have a good amount of tread. Run 'em!

Looks like some good miles left in those tires. Run 'em awhile longer.

John I know you are looking for someone to tell you that those tires are totally worn out and go buy those ones with the white letters on them. Okay just get the tires. You got your money out of those at 40k miles.

My opinion is you should change them. I changed mine on my DFT at about 35000, just because in my mind they seemed to re-act to the rain a little different than when they were new. Just my opinion for what its worth.

1/16" + wear bar? That's still 3 - 4/32" of tread. Harley wanted me to change rear tires at about that depth, but even the deep tread MT tire only had 9/32 of tread NEW -- that's throwing away half the tire. Car tires like we use on the rear start with more tread, but I still like to get as much out of a tire as I can safely. At this tread depth, IF you run a lot of rain, you COULD get some hydroplaning. For me, here in the desert, it'd be a waste to change 'em. If you get a lot of rain during your summer months, then maybe it'd be a good thing to change 'em.

With the wife maybe not riding much , we may only put 3 or 4 K on them this year. I may stay with the tires for one more year. Hey I like the fish tailing in the rain give me a litter pucker now and then . At my age that is a good thing.
