Is my tire dead? with pics, need you input

[cedric92300]

07 red with 5000 miles
easy going riding most of time with occasional fun

The tire were looking still decent and I decided this morning to do my first burn out
was lots of fun for 5 seconds !

It seems that on top of killing lots of the thread in the center ( normal you would say)
some rocks during the burn did some more damage

Is it safe to ride on it still for a thousand mile?
is it safe to do some highway riding with speed over 90

I will be getting the same bt56 for replacement but they also have qualifier and pilot in stock

thanks for your imput !

(sorry for the upside down pics )

I would change it now.

Change it. Getting an extra 1000 miles out of a tire like that to save the ~$150 for new rubber isn't worth the risk.

 

[Blazing-Saddle]

Looks shaky to me; I wouldn't ride on it.....

 

[rubber2burn]

That Burn out did a number on that tire I am with the rest get a new tire man

 

[craigntx]

not safe for the wet, and may puncture easily.
is it worth holding on to that $ for a little while longer?

 

[NoFearSpear]

I'd ride like that for a bit...but i kinda like living on the edge...

Hogwash ! There's plenty of life left in that tire !

















Right next to the chicken strips.

 

[cedric92300]

you guys right
I dont really mind changing it right now, I just had no idea if that was acceptable for a little more riding
my dealership got a bt56 in stock for 165 including free mounting and balancing and on top of that I have a coupon for 20% off that suzuki sent me

So now I will know the price of a burn out !

heck I will also use the opportunity to mount my 30$ ebay side plate holder while they are getting that tire changed ??

thanks for the imput

Did you really need to ask if you needed a new tire?

I'm all for a new tire.

Get a new tire before this: AZ Ride May 25th.

Better to be safe. Next time you can get more miles out of it by leaning into the curves a bit more.

I do not see any threads.... you see fabric? the tire does not look that thin to me (Pirelli Corsa3 looks thinner than that) and the TWI (Tread wear indicators) are not showing... ride it

Id ride it untill the middle is bald, probably not 1000 miles left in it but it looks servicable to me.

Can you take turns everywhere you go?
Otherwise I'd change it pronto.

+1 no need to get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat
