Nice work shredding the sides harder than the center. That’s a sign of someone who knows how to party.

Same happened with my dhr minion dh casing, sidewalls got worn out before the knobs, maybe a little agressive turning🤣

Depends on how much money you got. New tires would be noticeably better but those are plenty rideable for a while

Seen better seen worse. I see a lot of used tire deals on marketplace. Maybe the co-op if you have one nearby. Watch the sales and such. Tires don’t have to be crazy expensive to work fine unless you’re seriously ripping

The white marks in the sidewalls are nothing to worry about, that’s just the tyres flexing, ugly but quite common and not a problem in itself- the outer rubber skin has worn but it only makes a tiny difference to how the tyres act. It does mean the actual sidewalls are more likely to wear and get damaged- watch for loose threads
The centre wear will cost you grip but equally they should roll a little faster 😉
But the sideknobs are tearing up and that can be a real problem, you lose a ton of edge grip. The little tears at the base of the knob are what I’m looking at here, once that starts the knob moves around more, the tyre’s less stable and loses bite- so it’s bad for both grip and control. You’re not far from losing some outright. And tbh this is a sort of vicious cic;;e thing because anyone riding a tyre hard enough to annihilate the side knobs, is also riding hard enough to want the grip.
But here’s the thing, if you’re asking the question- are you having a problem? Especially on the rear. I wouldn’t ride that on the front, the sideknobs would be a problem for me for sure, I hate the feel of worn sideknobs. But on the rear I’d just declare it a dry weather tyre and send it til it slickifies itself.
