Life Remaining On Slicks
How do you tell how much rubber is left on a pair of slicks?
I know the M/T slicks have used have "wear holes" in tread. You can typically judge the amount of rubber left on them by the depth of the holes. In my experience, with a heavy car on a small slick, the sidewalls go way before the tread. If you purchased them new, looking at the 60's in your log book is the best judge of how much is left in the tire.
