The dhf is probably fine but I think the dhr is cooked? Only have a month and a half left of riding for the season but I do have a 45km enduro race with 1800 m of elevation at the end of the month coming up. Have a brand new magic mary and big Betty to put on just wanting to get all the usage out of these first.

Why not switch the rear. Especially if you have a race coming up. finish the season with a good feeling, dont have to wonder if that impacted your peformance
DHF is fine. I’d say for that race two things: casing and conditions. If the DHR is EXO or EXO+, you might want something less flimsy like a DD. The tread would be fine (and actually faster) in dry conditions. If it’s very loose or wet I might change it out. But mostly for braking grip, the side knobs are totally fine.
My tires usually get replaced because I wear the the side knobs out. The center isn’t usually that worn. Corners for dough.
Do you also roll up the toothpaste tube to get every last ml out?
Remember you get grip from the sharp edges of the knobs. Rear is so cooked, if it was a steak I’d send it back.
Front looks ok, actually.
