Time to replace tyre...or not?

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.

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 ?

A new tyre costs a lot less than new teeth.
