But you did ask and IMO you should change them when either of the scenarios mentioned above occur or at approximatel 25 to 30% of the tread remaining. Some of the newer MT's actually have wear bars indicating when you should consider changing the tire because at that point you have lost the tires real functional performance.

great response!

i think im probably gonna get some new rubber at the end of the summer when roadtrip season is over. got a few trips to the beach planned.
