    how do you judge when it needs changing?
    Thisis where I am now, the front looks like one of them 'V' pointed tyres
    you see
    at club races. But the back just aint ready for a change yet,
    Still, MOT at 9am this morning might push me to change it, we will see.

    Bridgestone 701s are even worse, cos the centre "hard" compound is
    like granite, and the outer part is like licorice.

    Ends up with a profile like this

    The steering goes all a bit wiggly at this point.

    I looked at a Sti WRX the other week, the tyres where slicks with very
    little grooves cut into them.

    I used to find that the bike fell into corners rather than turning in
    smoothly when I put a new rear tyre on without replacing the front and
    in the end I decided the saving just wasn't worth it.

    absolutely, you cant beat the feeling of 2 brand new tyres, the bike just
    glides round every bend
