I don’t know how many miles you got left, as that varies on a lot, but those aren’t done yet if you want to keep running them.

I usually ride rekons until the transiton knobs are gone and the side knobs are all torn since I have a habit of going through one every other month.
So that said, that tire is still fresh by my standards and I’d be putting hundreds of more miles on it

Plenty if you aren’t too concerned about traction.

I would say roughly 50%. I wouldn’t race DH on them but they definitely have many miles left.

At least 3

It’s a sliding scale. Will these work? Yeah, probably, run just fine I bet.
Would you notice the change to nice soft newer tires that aren’t cracked?
Yeah.
Are you flush with cash and itching to spend money or are you trying to get another season out of these?

One or two more seasons

Ride em until the side knows are falling off

Side knobs still intact? Check. Check back when side knobs rip off

All winter if it’s not muddy!

Controversial opinion incoming: These are worth throwing away. In fact, these should have been tossed a long time ago.
Context to my advise here is important. Be honest with yourself – are you a shredder? Are you pushing yourself on good days, chasing new descending PRs, and riding near the limits? Do you regularly ride trails where you can feel the edge of grip on your tires? Do you steer the bike properly (e.g. staying centered and aggressive over the bike, often tipping the bike for cornering and to engage the side knobs, and dropping your outside foot for weight transfer)? If the answer to these questions is ‘yes’ then you’ll benefit from getting new tires once the main and side knobs begin to noticeably round off uniformly, and when the cracking in the rubber compound becomes apparent and well spread across the tire. The grip between brand new tires and 40-50% used tires is very noticeable, and tires are literally the physical interface between you + your bike and all of its technology, and the trail itself. Personally – I rip and replace tires once they are about 40% used up because a.) new tires are not really that expensive in the grand scheme of things, b.) new tires are way “cheaper” than injuries from a crash from a lack of optimal grip, c.) I ride specifically to chase performance.
If you are a more casual rider who generally rides at a comfortable pace, you could probably squeeze a bit more out of these.

Just use them. What a question

You are just wearing those down into your new road tires. Probably have at least 1000 miles left

It is fine for the rear not the front. Knob not ripping so keep it going

Most of its life still left.

Until you wear past the little slits in the knobs (I forget what they are called). These look way good to me.

More than 1 but less than 3 million

way more tread than my truck tires that’s for sure.

Seem fine to me

Prob -200 miles for me, but really depends if the performance drop off is importantly for your or not. I definitely wouldn’t race in these, but they are definitely past their prime.
