Small wear and tear, should tire be changed?

[omega8]

I've been reading on when to change motorcycle tires, so far from what can tell, I don't think my tires are to the extremes what I have seen and read on the internet. However, the KM's (or mileage) on the tires is getting close to 9,500KM.


Basically the only two things I can see visible on my tires is a little crack spot, and a small indent, most likely from having a tire sitting over a small pebble or something.


I'm just looking for other opinions to see if it's best to change my tires now? Or if it is something I could probably hold off till start of next season (spring 2012). Or does it even need to be change this soon give the condition as shown in the pictures?


The bike I have is the 2010 Suzuki SV650S with ABS. It's still the original tires since I got it new in 2010, so from 0KM to about 9,500KM

Here are the links to the full resolution pictures I took, beware, each file is about 5.5MB in size.

Replaced the OE tires on my wifes 08 SV this year, she had racked up 15k on them and they still had some tread left, but were getting fairly square and dry. I agree with Rick, as long as your not expecting the world from them, they've still got 5k left in them.
