1500km Schwalbe One 30 (front) and 32mm (back) are not looking good. On the back the stiching goes in the wheel than comes out, on the front one I can see the wires. Should I change or safe for some more?
1st picture front, 2-3. rear.
Thanks!

In that first pic, if that is the metal of the tire, then yes, you need to replace them.
Just like a car, once you see the wire, you must change the tire.
I don’t see any problems. Where is the damage? My Schwalbe one looks decent after more than 5000km.
I would continue to ride that tire. It should be fine. 👍🏻
As a frugal/cheap guy, this one is tougher than most posts here.
Yes you should replace, especially if you have a race, important trip or could get stranded somewhere with a non repairable tire.
But there is no bulge or sign of casing distress. For low stakes rides, I’d likely keep riding it but paying close attention to bulges, tire pressure change or such.
OTOH, if you aren’t cheap or handy or welcoming of mid-ride drama, change it now.
