Just recently removed a Battlax BT-45 Tire after 23K miles of service/wear. My inquisitive mind requires me to take my bolt cutters and razor knife to the casing and dissect it. There's nothing, IMHO, which provides some evidence of the tires construction and what remains of the thread/tread. In the case of this Ax there's 1/2" rubber thickness remaining in the tire center. The original thread/tread depth of the Ax was 9/32" and was 3/32" depth when removed. Thats "one thick" tire
Just a note about the wear of the Ax in comparison to the OEM Stone. The OEM tire displayed more "center wear" (less thread/tread remaining) than the Ax which showed more "off center" wear. The opposite of each other!
Some pics of the severed Ax! The tire was used on the front wheel of my F6B
