Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

2000 miles on the front is probably about 40% used. Ideally that tire should be put on back where tread can be worn down a lot before tire cracks out more.

Tire isn't squared off at all, as some are seeing. Maybe it's the grey center tread that's throwing them off.
