Indeed. On my first (new to me 10 year old) bike, I didn’t realize that the center of the tire had a tread pattern.

It wasn’t until looking up the exact tire that I realized the center of the tire was significantly worn..

OP is right there. I’m certainly certain that squiggly line resembling a tread line is suppose to be wayyyy deeper.

You can't replace your time, son. All we have on earth is the time that's given to us.

Why does nobody know what wear indicators are or how to read them?

u/LexusBrian400 1d ago

They know. At this point it's either rage bait or a need for attention. These tire posts should be banned.

Your time is up to you. I would replace that tire immediately though.

u/EstablishmentNo5013 1d ago

Right as soon as you start asking yourself if it’s time to replace them.

u/BewitchingPetrichor 1d ago

After 10 years or when it reaches the wear indicator. Edit: or obviously when damaged beyond repair

u/Fine_Awareness_5144 1d ago

You should have changed it already. So, do it immediately. If the front is the same age I would replace it as well.

Right fucking now.

u/SurpriseFlimsy2536 1d ago

I’m gonna have to agree and say you’re way too late in changing that. Get at it, son.

u/hayforhorses89 1d ago

You're squared off. If there's no rain You're good for a bit. But should get new tires soon

u/oovalap_ 1d ago

Maybe another month? It should be replaced but it's not in critical state.

When you decide it's time to learn cornering.

When you have plenty left to spare never waste time it’s precious.

u/LexusBrian400 1d ago

These posts absolutely ruin the sub.

If you feel like you have to ask the entire Internet, just change the fucking tire.

What bike is it? If it's a 15 hp 125cc, it might be okay for a little while longer.

The barely visible tread bar you can see in the middle of the picture is a wear indicator. When the tread is down to that level, you really need to change the tire, so doing it as soon as possible would be the safest option. Try to avoid riding in the rain entirely - your rear will slip
