Tire Wear; Minimum Recommended Tread Depth - Triumph Tiger XR Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance

Tire Wear

As the tire tread wears down, the tire
becomes more susceptible to punctures
and failure. It is estimated that 90% of
all tire problems occur during the last
10% of tread life (90% worn). It is
therefore not recommended to use tires
until they are worn to their minimum.
