Remembering reading some of the "tread wear" comments from that thread....here's mine.

Last night I noticed that the wear bars are just touching the ground.

Time for a NEW (Michelin Power or Power Pure) tire.....!

My ol butt's worth more than another week or two thAn a new tire this weekend..!

Might help if you told us what tire you have on there, and how many miles you've got on it.

I switched to the Power Pure also and they have performed great, have 2500 miles and I think I can get another 1500-2000 out of the rear. The Pirelli's had cord showing at 2500, and I would not give you 2 cents for the Dunlop Q2.

Bought a couple of Corsa Rossa.136 for the back and 109 for the rear.After just under 2000 miles the rear Corsa3 is getting kind of slick but that is cool.Makes me feel like I can actually ride when the rear steps out a little: )

After getting the pressures right, (they are sensitive to getting it right) I am REALLY digging the Power Pures.

Highly recommend.

Rob, for the PP, what do you run for pressure on your tires?

i have had pures on for 3500 miles. i found them a bit slow turning into corners, so run 2psi higher front and back.

the rear is not worn out, but it is starting to square off and now it feels like a new tire at normal pressure.

i emailed michelin when i had the pures fitted and they quoted 34 front/36 rear
