Wear bar on American Elite?
Just wondering if anybody has noticed this.
Rear tire is getting close to wear bars so I’ve been watching wear and condition a little closer than normal. During my winter detail work I was doing a close inspection of the tire and noticed that I have cords showing. WOW, not even to the wear bars yet. I hope this is just an isolated problem. Anybody else seen this?
By the way, I got 12670 miles on The American Elite. I got 15000 miles out of the radial I tried before and 9700 miles out of the OEM.
I haven’t decided if I’m going back to the radial or maybe try a Michelin this time.

Picture?
I don't rely on wear indicators. I've got a tread depth gauge.. I keep a close eye on my tires all the time.
Well ever since this one, a lot of years ago. I just got back from a 3200 mile trip, and before I looked at it, my buddy told me to use a quarter. I sent him these pics...
