At what point do you guys/gals determine that it’s time to replace?
I replace a tire when cords show, it gets cut, or it bulges due to broken cords.
Before switching to tires with a flat protection layer I also changed when the flat rate became unacceptable.
I always put the new tire on the front, usually moving the lightly worn front to the rear.
Contental GP4000 or GP4000SII ready for replacement:
