Noob tire wear question
I bought a CAAD9-5 that came with Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks. My question is: how do I properly tell when its time for some new tires since there is no tread pattern (which is how I typically tell on my car/mx bike/3 wheeler)? Typically I check tread depth on the aforementioned and purchase accordingly; not sure about slicks.

Replace if:
1. you can see the casing/cords
2. they have big cuts or chunks out of the rubber
3. you keep getting flats
4. they are just looking bad
