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.

ive seen worse...ive seen a 3" wide strip of belt/wire(NO RUBBER WHATSOEVER) showing all the way around the rear tire of some idiots CBR900RR. He brought it in for an inspection also....
+1 on the looking like you locked it up and slid for a mile or 2.....never seen one with a spot like that down to the rope..

When I bought my old bike the rear tire looked like that with a few bald spots that were down to the cords and the rest was decent looking, well for a bald tire. I'd replace it though LOL

Only if you like the twisties, I had a 2 inch wide stripe down the center of my old tire on my F3, ALL THREADS
Got a bran new one on there and I ended flipping the bike over in a second gear wheelie. Sucked ass.

Lol, I wouldn`t trust that tyre on mine with the 155+ Ponies it gets through it, could make you hurt.
