When is it time to change tires

[hardright]

Hi. I've had 8400kms on the scoot. Tire grooves are still good. No punctures at all since I got the bike. It's been 3 years now. Just wondering if i should be replacing the set for safety reasons. TIA.

You're probably OK as long as it's not stored outside in direct sunlight. With 8,400 km (5,200 miles) you should be getting close to needing a front tire.

I have gotten 16000+ km on each of my 2 previous front tires and 18000+ km on each of my 2 previous rear tires and I am now on my 3rd set and they are still looking good with 8000 on the front and 4000 on the rear

Wow. You guys are really putting a lot of mileage on your tires. On my Ducati Diavel， I replaced it after 5000kms and only after 4 years. I’d be happy if i can get like 12T kms before i change the set.

I am on my 4th set of tyres now.. been running Pirelli Diblo Scoot for the last 2 pairs and all of them last me around 18k kms each pair..
