At what point do you guys/gals determine that it’s time to replace?
If you toss tires when the crown is a bit flattened, you will be throwing away a lot of good tires.
Consider this: even if the tire is brand new, when you put your weight on the bike, the tire's contact patch flattens out. You are always rolling on a flat patch.
