My riding buddy and life-long friend James would be proud of me...(he tends to run them pretty thin)...

I can't quite stick a #2 pencil through it...but it's close...

I am impressed with that treadwear down that far and so well rounded and so well worn off the sides much more so than mine just down the 2-3" middle is all with plenty of tread still left on the edges.  What mileage did he get out of that old avon cobra tire?  Mine has about 10K tops and has more tread down the middle and is NO longer holding air without pinholes all over it mostly just left of center. 

Looks to me he got his money's worth out of that old Avon Cobra well worn down and not just more so in the middle like mine had.  Am impressed it wasn't loosing air 2-3,000 miles ago since has much less tread in the middle than mine does currently loosing about 1psi per day.

That's my tire. My buddy James would say I should run it more.

It has about 12,000 miles on it I think. I'm pretty sure that's the 21'st tire on the front...though I may have lost count somewhere...

I've spent more on tires for that machine than I spent to buy that machine new... :/

This is...unless I've lost count along the way...#21 on the front of this machine.

I've now spent more on tires for this machine then I paid for her brand new...
