have 1100 miles up on my tires schwalbe just wondering should ibe changeing them there is no threads showing through yet ...

I wouldn't change them until you start seeing threads.

I used a pair of the Ultremos last year. Trained on them for a few months and then did a 9-day stage race (950 km) on them. By that point, they probably had a couple thousand miles on them...no flats...still did great. I think yours are fine, although I would rotate (put the front on the rear and get a new front) when you get to 2000 miles or if you start getting frequent flats.

Well at first I thought it was 11,000miles:eek: By 1100 miles the tire is still considered 8/10 if for me.My WTB mounted which came as stock with my roadbike had previously rolled for about 4000miles and it still looks good until the front has came down with sidewall a puncture then I changed both.🙄
