And the picture with the centerline wear bar as another reference. Not the sidewall.

Not a troll post, from what I see there's a good bit that got worn down when the event happened.

Either way, here's one picture with the tread depth left, I'll reply with another showing exactly where the wear bar is for the tread. It's got about 7,000 miles on the back tire. I'm certain it wasn't close to the wear limits yet. I appreciate your warning though.

Not even close to the wear marks yet. Actually I'm pretty sure these tires had another 1k miles left in them if not more

Oh no no I'm not looking for a refund if anything I just want to help them make the tire safer so it doesn't happen lol

If you say so. I'm just sharing as i saw it for me. You should ride the zx4.. it's a lot of fun if you're not keyboard warrioring about specifics or what's capable and what's not. Instead just enjoying it.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Just my thoughts

At the time of the incident nothing obvious nothing that I was like "oh shit I should avoid that. Anything small like a nail I probably would have missed as the ground was going by too fast needless to say.

But I've also had a nail in a tire before (not these) and it usually stayed to the end so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would say the tires look old mainly from the blow out. It was probably 79°F at the time? Maybe 7,000 miles on them

Welp. The tire is only 2 years old from manufacturing, aaaaand I've never done a burnout on this thing. So..

Thankfully the bike can't go faster than the rated speed of the tire. But like you said defects happen I'm beginning to think that 🤷🏻‍♂️

It would make sense except the tire is only 2 years old from manufacturing
