I hate to admit it ... but I do not know how add a picture to these threads!
I got 20K + out of my front and took off the rear at 15k to go Darkside !!! Yes this tire has 20K miles on it!!! No Chicken strip...

How do you know when the tires are worn out?

If you are into the "wear bars" or have excessive cupping its time for new skins!

Mine look like that @6k original miles, I've only owned it since 4500 miles
Attachment 19911 This is my rear tire with 7274 miles on it which is just about to the wear bars on the tire. I think it really depends on how frisky your right wrist is as my rear tire probably would have made 7500 at best but I change it out cause it was flat in the center of the tread and I didn't like the look. Running 40 in the front and 41 in the rear.
I got 13,500 out of my stock tires. I was very happy with them. I replaced them in kind.
My 2 cents,
I just took my Harley in for new tires. The originals were Dunlop Elite 3 Radial tires with 24,000 original miles. When my F6B needs new tires, my choice will be the Elite 3 radial tires. The rear tire is shown in the photo below.
