9,791 and I'm not going to try to reach 9,800 with them.

It's worn unevenly, most of it is still rubber, there is one spot of a couple inches long where it shines through.

It's your choice but not a safe choice. The cords will wear dramatically in a "very" short time.

I call it a 'pre-flight' inspection. Pilots perform a pre-flight inspection before getting in their aircraft.

So what you are saying is you didn't check the tire wear often enough. How many miles did you ride to be able to find the cords in the tire?[/quote:bic6wfr4]
What's the big deal? ..."everyone knows, you can get 200-300 miles out of the cord" [sic]. (Gomer Pyle). :biggrin:
