I replaced mine when the middle was bold and I got two punctures in one day. Don’t do this.

If the sidewall and bead is fine (No cracks/slashes in sidewall and no wire visible in the bead) i’d ride it until the middle is slick, that is unless you start getting punctures or if threads are showing through the rubber – that would be your signal to replace the tire. Also, take the age of tyre into consideration. If you’re already getting more punctures than normal due to tire age i’d also replace it.

Depends *what* you’re riding. If you need braking traction off-road, then that’s dead. If you want it to roll fast on roads, there’s loads of life left.

Road cycling? Meh it’s fine
Gravel I’ll think about doing it sooner rather than later
MTB: I’ll be driving to my LBS

Fine for the road or pavement, maybe even light hard pack but anything else carry spare patches or tubes and get a tyre when possible. My irc mythos I’m using are a little bit worse than that but great for road and pavement. Even light trails. I’m having to put away the smoke and dart because the road is absolutely tearing apart the knobs.

An assegai on the rear has bigger knobs that a lot of rear tires, even with a bit of wear, so you are fine

I would replace that. This tire will be easy to puncture.
If no punctures so far, then it’s ok-ish. But I would replace anyway

Keep for fun rides or jumpline park laps. Replace if performance plays a role.
