As long as they are only flat at the bottom who cares.

Note that in the photo above the tyre didn't look anywhere near that "depressed" in the middle when inflated, nor was the canvas patch visible when I'd last checked the pressure a week or so before. Lesson learned for me.
Shallow tread near or just below the limit is one thing, but even if more expanded when inflated, that tyre looked like it had no tread in the middle section long before anything was done about it.

My bike has done 12,800 miles, still on original IRC and has about 1mm tread left in the middle and fairly good tread further from the middle as I do not scrape my knees or centre stand when taking bends But I will replace it soon.

btw - for those thinking of changing tyres themselves and inflating - how do you cope with the valve (keep/replace?)

Remove the cap, put a little spit over the valve. If no bubbles then it's a keeper.

how long do my tires have once the tread is gone?
