Default wear bars on Dunlop

how obvious are the 'wear bars' on Dunlop tires.

I have 10k kms. on my rear Dunlop. It appears well worn but I don't see any 'wear bars' yet.

thx 4 any comments,

...look for the arrows on the sidewalls..they point to the wear indicators ...the wear bars are the 'slick' areas between the treads in the center of the tire...my Dunflops were worn out at about 9k...

he said 10000km. That's about 6200 miles. That tire is probably still ok.

on the harley tire there is a harley logo in the tread and when it is gone they consider the tire worn. I think you said 10000 kilometer and not miles. I get 8000 to 10000 miles on mine. do the math
