Time to replace tyre...or not?

[Shadow]

This tyre will have completed (approx) 12,000 km in the next couple of weeks. A couple of months ago the blue protective layer started appearing and now looks like this:

I intend it to stay on the bike for another 400 - 600 km. Anyone inclined to disagree?
(There are no visible cuts, abrasions, holes or other nasties and this pic is representative of the entire circumference). It is a Schwalbe Durano Plus.

If you are being serious and it's not a 'woosh' , then obviously it needs replacing.

It's well past replacement time.

HAVE YOU NO SHAME

Seems to me; you’ve more than had your fair usage. You now have zero tread,I suspect way less comfort and are risking preventable punctures; the entire carcass being so thin.

I’m struggling to understand why would you continue to use this tyre ?

I'd go with black indelible marker pen...
What could possibly go wrong 🤔

A new tyre costs a lot less than new teeth.

You haven’t been to the pound shop recently ?

That tyre's long overdue replacement. Unless you're actually from Yorkshire when it's almost new.

Got a good dentist...

 

[PaulSB]

Seriously, you're riding on that?

My main concern would be that presumably that material for that puncture resistant layer wasn't chosen for its friction properties...

While tight as fook I'd have replaced that a long time ago..

With a decent new tyre fitted, OP is shirley going to feel like they are flying along on low rolling resistance rubber!
