I feel like anytime I have a question, at least 2 other people have already posted something similar in the last week, so sorry for the repetitive stuff.
I've got an 86 with very low miles that I picked up from the second owner. He bought it from a neighbor down the street who had bought it for his wife, who pretty much never rode it. The 2nd owner had done some carb work, but I don't remember him saying whether he had replaced the tires or if the 1st owner had replaced them before selling the bike. I'm currently around 3000 miles, with the last 1300 coming from me. The front tire treads are looking a little worn - pretty evenly, though and there's a bit less than 1/4 inch of tread depth. There is some cracking along the side and in some of the treads. I've tried to get some pictures, but the cracks aren't showing up very clearly. The rear tire looks much better - lots of tread depth left and very minimal cracking along the side. Both tires are IRC. I tried to find markings that would indicate manufacturing date, but really wasn't sure what I'm looking for.
Here are several pics. I've got some tax return money coming that I'm either going to use to get new tires, or do some other cosmetic/performance upgrades. Do I need new tires? Do I just need a new front tire? Or should they last me a while yet?
As always, the help is greatly appreciated.
