when to change tires?

Hello,

I need help. I'm not sure how this wear indicator on tire works.

I have about 12 000Km on my PCX.

The rear looks ok. Can't see the front good enough to tell.
I change mine when I can see the air inside of them.

The arrow shows you where the wear indicator is found out on the face of the tire. You must look close for a tiny tread that never rises to the level of the actual tread. If its gone time to buy a new tire.

Also if you wear the center of the tire down it will show a white warning strip around the whole tire before it blows

Hey some goofs use that as time to buy a new one.

What the average mileage range that a back tire lasts?

On a PCX its going to be many, many miles

Street bikes and cruisers not so much. If you need a set of stock rubber for PCX PM me, we work something out. I swapped out IRC's for Michigan's within 400 miles and still have them.

Nope I don't need one but wondering what most people are getting in km or miles when they change.

Is it possible to get a straight answer here? Sheesh.....

I think it was around 8K miles (pushing 12K kilometers) when I decided to replace my stock IRC. Front still looks fine at 13K miles.

Thank you! That's all I was looking for. Sometimes the "witty repartee" here seems to be a bit much.

It's very badly visible. It's very flat bump. That means this tires can go forever?

homie · Post by **homie** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 2:38 pm

Um... that is a weird indicator but as you can see you have a lot of rubber to burn off before the bump contacts the ground. So yes, dam near forever on a scooter! BTW what brand tire is that? Take it easy in the rain not much pattern going on there... like a racing slick. Next set of rubber maybe you get some Michelin's.

Hm, these are just default Honda PCX 2014 tires, IRC or something.
