[QUOTE="CAJW, post: 965327, member: 1055"] Since Fontanaman cut his tire when it hit the wear bars, figured I'd share mine that started showing cords. Like most, I usually wear the center down first, but this time the right side showed cords way before I anticipated it would. Again, the usual disclaimers apply and I'm not going to run any where near this far on subsequent sets, but this PR2 "B" spec tire only had 5598 miles on it, with about 70% of that, two up. The caliper measurement conversion of 167/1000s works out to about 5/32 of rubber before the wind escapes, but obviously judging by the wear bars is still the best way to go. I was amazed as to how much rubber remained, however using this info to run more than the minimal number of miles to get it replaced was not my intent, but just to share the results of my dremmel fest. Enjoy!
