To all the '5 is easy, anybody can do it' guys - When is the last time you've looked at the chicken-strips at a typical bike-night?

On my 190/50 I am below the tail of that elephant, and 190/50s suck, and I suck even more.

This, I'm under the pitchfork on the corsa 3 on front of my bike, and I am NOT good.

It is sad, but this is one of the first things I look at when checking out another bike.

I got to agree with you there, i am usually looking at other bikes tires when we meet for a group ride. If they are toast or huge chicken strips i am keeping my distance till i see how they ride.

I consider myself an average rider, but i don't want to get taken out by someone on wore out tires or riding over their head.

I usually run my teammate's Pirelli race take-offs on my street bike when he's done with them (my own take-offs are 160's, my street bike takes a 180). A lot of street-only riders look at me like I've got three heads when they look at my tires. It always makes me chuckle

If they ask, I usually tell em the truth & say the tires have some race laps on em... but sometimes I'll play it up a bit & either just give them a head nod as if to say "yeah, that's right... I'm fast" or say I shredded em on my favorite back roads

Yea good to think about, but track tires typically ball up rubber way more than than you can get on the street, so that kind of gives it away.

Over the past two years i have had tow riders go down while i was leading the group ride. Both had really worn out front tire and this most likely played a hufe factor in the crashes.
