Warn out!!!!
That white break out looks like it has a whole other riding season on it. This is what my metzler 880 rear looks like at 14k and will get 1 more month out of it
This is just for a bench mark !!!!! so you know what a warn out tire looks like .
And for some that see that small nail hole , yes that is a patch on the inside

AHH!! you beat me to it. A car tire on a breakout might look pretty cool actually. I'll probably get 40,000 miles on my rear tires. Love it!!

PS> Metzeler says the tire is shot when 2mm of center tread is left; where's your center tread? All you have left if side tread.
Here's what a new tire looks like; complete with center tread...

Ran Metzeler 18 inch 150 888's for years on the rear of my fatboy. I would average about 5000 miles on the back and about 7500 on the front...140s. Switched to Commander 2s after an engine build and changed the rear tire last week...due to a screw hole...but the rear still had a lot more mileage left at 6000 miles
The commanders are not as grippy but it is just a slight difference and have adjusted riding style to compensate. I think I am sticking with the Commanders going forward. About twice the longevity in my experience.
