Tires good for another month or should replace immediately?

Some English trackday guys (44 teeth I think) did a video on old tires and after a full day thrashing them on the track they didn’t notice any problems.

Also how much riding are you going to do? For the next 2 weeks/months... For some people that's 1000km and for others it's 10,000km etc

Planning to ride 100km max

Were they cracking like the OP's tires? Ari compared the same tires on track - one set brand new, the other set 7 years old. Found almost no difference. But the old tires were properly stored and in brand new condition.

cbr125 ! needs good rubber so you can keep the momentum up in the corners !
find someone cheaper, or change the rubber yourself..maybe?

be careful on those tires..

I need to hijack this thread. Same question. I haven't even noticed this until now. 30k km on the tire so far... Cupping. I have ordered a new tire and it's on it's way.

Tires not really worn out until you can see cords showing.

Front tires cup. They don't look too bad. I'd ride it until the news ones arrive.

What do the sidewalls look like? Cupping isn't really bad, but the cracking is very bad. What's the date on them?You wouldn't buy a bike with tires that bad. Why keep riding on those?
