So when do you guys change the front tires? I have already hit the wear bars but still have some tread left. I am wondering how close do you get to the tires having no tread till you change it. I dont usually go to long once it hits the wear bars but am interested to hear what you guys do.

I would change it right away. What if next weekend your buds invite
you on a 500-750 mile ride?

I agree with Mike.

I changed mine out when it hit the wear bar.  If you get hit by a hard rainfall you could hydroplane and loose control.  Better safe than sorry.

The last couple of times it was when I noticed I should have changed them much earlier Cheesy
