Meh. The pattern on road tires doesn’t really do much anyway. I’d keep riding it until you see a change in material, start getting flats, or notice a change in traction. That’s just me, though

Still can ride some more, but good idea to get new tyres. I’ve not seen the state of the rest of the tyre, including bead, sidewall.
But what I see doesn’t look dangerous. But if this tyre is about to be worn out completely soon if you ride a lot.

Keep riding until you can see the fabric of the carcase, preferably on the rear wheel. I’m assuming the tyre on the right is a new example of the same model, for comparison.

Look up your specific tire and see if it has a wear indicator- some have them built in and when they are gone it’s time to get a new tire.

Yes, those are done.
