When to get new tires?

[Tiny54]

I own a ST Limited 2015. It has almost 17,000 miles on it. I have heard many Spyder Ryder's talk about changing tires out, some after 16,000. I check the tread often and it looks good to me. My question is what in particular should I be looking for so I will know when new tires are needed? Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Just keep an eye on your tread depth, and run them for as long as your comfortable with how things look.
Just don't run them until the "air starts poking through..." If you think that a bald rear tire compromises traction: you haven't felt what happens when a bald front tire compromises the handling! :yikes:

I find weather is a main factor. If you deal with a lot of the wet stuff it is wise not to wait till you reach the wear bars/limit to change. We do not deal with that here so we can wait till the end. If you start to notice that the rear starts slipping more on acceleration especially on turns it is a good indicator that you are loosing your grip on the road. :thumbup:
