It has no wear indicators, but is quite concave - 1 or 2 mm I guess

Is there a rule of thumb? Consequences of it going at 40 odd eemmm peeee aitches obviously quite serious

2 mm is an awful lot of the wall thickness!

replace when it feels concaved, or failing that when it cracks and the tyre explodes off the rim! and you injure yourself
