Default How much life does this rear tire have?

My rear tire has about 5000 miles on it, do you guys think it has enough life left in it for a north run tomorrow? The tread is getting pretty thin in the middle

stay away from water, and to the strings you shal go my friend! ride them till the strings start to fray, then you seriously need to swap out. haha...

atleast thats how i roll. i allways go to strings on rear.

howcome rear's ALLWAYS go like 10x faster then fronts?

And stay away from locking up the back brake, or youll have a string spot in no time at all.

The rears go faster than the fronts because it's the driven wheel, just like whatever tire is driven on a car goes faster (eg, rears on rwd)..

At least that's how it was explained to me.
