Should I try for 10k on tires before I put on new tires?

We are currently watching the 2011 carefully. 13K miles so far, but the tire is "getting there."
So I should just keep an eye on the tires. Deanna777

Dee,
The tires will become more prone to hydroplaning as the center tread wears down... If you ride much in the rain; keep that in mind!

That's outstanding mileage from a stock Kenda. Of course, that all depends on how it looked at that mileage.

2014 5400 miles. Just got back from the smokey mountains. 2120 miles in 7 days and no interstates. Rear tire is now junk. Darn twisties. Darn torque. Darn fun. Anybody know of a dual compound tire that will fit? I am looking at the Kumo right now.

Ok, I have just about 9k on my back tire. As I face the machine from the rear the right half of the tire is much more worn than the left side. Not much left as you can see from the pictures. I assume before I go to Sturgis this will need to be replaced....anyone think I can get another couple thousand out of this? I'm also assuming alignment must be off for this kind of wear?

Looks like I will be getting a car tire for this as well. Now to decide on which one........

......If that's your rear tire ( and it looks like it is ) ....this is not a good thing.....I haven't heard of a rear tire wearing more on one side .................Usually the rear wears in the middle first.! ! !.....Mikeguyver

Just a thought. As I recall, you had to have some engine work done early on. If, they pulled your engine. They may not have realigned it properly. There is a special tool for doing so. Should that be the case? Then adjusting the drive belt to compensate for improper engine alignment yet have the belt track properly, could be the cause of excesive tire wear on one side.

6,100 miles on mine and won't pass inspection, I ride it pretty easy - 50% of the time is two-up - putting on a Kumho Ecst AST next week.
