    But where is the wear marker, is it when the line that runs right around the centre of the tyre (as in MSTRS photo) has gone?
    I don't think so, but then I don't use Michelin. Usually there are little rubber "bridges" across some of the sipes. (The grooves in the tread.) When you reach them it's time to replace the tyre, they indicate minimum tread depth
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

    Yep. I just had a look at mine, and there is one in the sipe, about 30mm to the left of that 'line'. The tread depth at that point is still about 2.75mm, so I have miles left still.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Found it, thanks heaps.

    Only have about 1mm left, bout time to replace me thinks. The lower k's could be our corse chip seal down here, the left side is looking a bit chewed as well.

    More likely your riding style and the fact you have a torquey single.
