    Tread depth

    Does anyone know the tread depth for a new front (90/90-21) Michelin Anakee?

    My front is at 2 mm and I didn't measure it when I put it on. Just wondering what I've used so far.

    As you were.



    Fun spoil mode ON

    Oh, and before someone does - please don't post "More than 2 mm"

    Fun spoil mode OFF

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    On the Safe House list. Well, I say safe............

    Re: Tread depth

    2mm is cutting it fine anyway? ive found handling goes off long before it gets to the legal limit.
    ive had conti road attacks on my sportsbike, and have trail attacks on my varadero, they have a massive tread depth, 1/2" or more

    I have just changed my TA tyres to BT45's done 80 miles and they are the Daddy. So far BT45, Ankees and Tourances that's my order of preference.
