If the tyre is worn down to the groove (see red arrow)

is it time for the skip, seems like still a bit of tread but that groove has gone?

Didnt last very long. 🙁

Would you change it?

If they cause you to crash constantly get shot.. but if they're still working why change.

[zx spectrum basic]
10 when the front tyre tread loses its sharp edges remove it.
20 replace front tyre with a new 60a tyre.
30 put the worn front tyre on the rear.
40 bin the old rear tyre.
50 goto 10.

unless it's for racing DH.

I keep 'em and use them on the back in summer till they're pretty much bald.

For some reason then I still can't bring myself to chuck them out, so I have a mini stash of completely useless rollers...
