The s2k has started to oversteer in the turns, does this mean that the tires are unsafely worn.

Trying to hold off until the summer to replace the tires, but I don't know if that can work, its at 11k ish right now, is there anyways to tell when the tires definatly need to be changed?

btw, AP1 REMOVE THE [/quote] FROM YOUR SIG Blah Blah Blah

You knew I was gonna be the one to answer this. Good question indeed though. There are indicators in the center tread of the tire. Stick your hand as far back as possible in the last grove and see if you can feel one. If the indicator is level then they need replacing.

You can also take a penny, turn the head down and if the tire wear is below the head then need to be replaced.

Blah Blah Blah

al tires have a mark in the side wall might be four all around the sidewall
from that point to the middle of the tire in between the tread there is a bump that if you can feel without pressing inside then it is time to replace those tires
(A rotation could help you to hold on till summer

I say baby it pretty well until you can replace the tires. And I might and I might not. I'm thinking of adding one to the start as well.
