    Default Oh NO! Another tire thread?

    Well, here I am about 80 miles shy of 17K on the Kenda. You can see the wear bar at lower left, but the center is pretty well shot. Still, lotsa miles for a Kenda, right?


    So I'm looking over my new General Altamax (thanx Mike & Deanna!) for the wear bars, and the little triangles pointing to them, and... What? There are none! Perhaps many people are aware of this new wear indication technique, but for those who are not (like me) I'm posting what I found instead:

    In three places around the tire, on the center tread rib, see the rain-sipe markings that spell REPLACEMENT TIRE MONITOR? I stuck a toothpick in and found them to be quite deep, so run the tire as long as you can read the words, then replace. HAH! That's a new one on me!


    (My first attempt at pictures... I hope this works.)
