I'm after expert opinions on my tyre wear.
I am running Conti road attack 2's. They are a few thousand km old. Can't recall the specific km on them.
Anyway, I'm planning a longer ride over Easter, about 1000km all up. The front seems fine. It's the middle of the rear that concerns me. I can start to see some vertical banding. I'm wondering if it's going to last the trip as I have time to replace it beforehand. The last thing I want is to try to get a new tyre on the trip.
I will try to post a photo but it's difficult to capture properly.
Any thoughts?

Here's the best photo I could manage. You can see the stripes in the middle.  |

Often wrong. Never in doubt.

Yup. That's the steel banding making itself apparent just under the surface. It'll look like this pretty soon...  |

I only got 5500km out of a set of Conti Road attack 2 before the wire started showing.  Nice tyre but no good on Alpine roads. |

I just checked my notes 10,000 K's out of my rear Conti SA2  Mostly local NSW roads at 36 psi The last one I only got 6-7 K due to riding it on the Alpine roads (more abrasive than PAUL's humor ) Your tyre is rooted mate. I am in the same boat planning a little getaway early next month going to throw a used track tyre on for the trip it has lots left in the middle , not much left on the edge  |

How bloody hard is it to get a tyre and get it fitted in Tas?
No one has the one I want in stock and even if they get it in next few days, some will take until the end of the month to fit it. One bloody tyre!
The best I can hope for is last thing Thursday or Easter Tues. lucky my trip isn't until 24th.
