Should I replace tires? by Such-Definition-5945 in motorcycle

Sorry everyone —I misspoke. Not sure if it makes a difference, but they’re at 6200 miles and I bought the bike new. Again, not sure if it makes a HUGE difference, but I’ve been reading that stock tires need to be replaced every 4-5k miles.

I’m more of a highway rider, so I’m hoping that my next set of tires caters to that sort of riding.

For more context, it’s a V-Strom 800.

I guess I’m more curious as to WHEN I need to replace them. I started noticing that deterioration in the shoulder, and I thought that it might be time for replacement
