Run them or replace them?

But they never really go away. They have 216,000 miles. I’m going to the left coast. Don’t want problems there. I think they’re ok, but will one of them??

u might get about 2k-3k more miles on them and then the groove will be completely gone... keep a tight eye on them if your going to keep running them. if you start to see a patch of slightly softer rubber under where it is wearing,.. you need to replace it. - DOT will not get u until the second rubber is showing or there are more that 2 grooves in a row missing side by side across the tire.

I’ll probably just bite the bullet, and give up trying to set a record. I have a friend that changes his steers every year, regardless of mileage. I like to bust his chops about it.
