Default Tire Tread?
What is the minimum acceptable tread on RE050 tires for running the Dragon? I've got 11k mostly highway miles on this set; and wondering if I need to change rears before heading down...

thanks,
Dave

I'm no expert on that tire but I would not get on the dragon or anywhere else with less than 5/32 tread. That is the absolute minimum.

I don't think there is a minimum tread requirement, but if you have to ask, I'd probably suggest changing them... Just my $.02.

If you can't see cord, it's all good.
