Just returned from a 1300km trip through Lesotho comprising mainly tar and some dirt.
Fantastic tyre in my opinion but this is the second Karoo 3 thats worn very badly - last one gave me just over 4000km.

My question: the shallow groove in the centre of the knobs is now worn down. Are there other wear bars on the tyre that indicate when the tyre must be replaced or can one go well beyond that shallow groove than runs down the centre of the knobs?

When I serviced the bike in January the agent insisted I replace the previous tyre...and then still screwed up the rotation on this new tyre...

Thanks!
