Toast?
How shallow does the tread get before the grip falls off a cliff. Didn’t measure but i will later.. I’ve been doing a lot of autox lately. Seems like grip is down but it doesn’t feel like a major drop off yet. Or am i crazy and these are toast?

At the track, it drops off when the cording shows as far as wear goes.
P.S. They look lightly used. Plenty of life as tread is concerned. Not sure how many heat cycles you have on them. |

Your tires show good even wear across and have tons of life left. G3s dont drop off much and tread has nothing to do with grip, except for water evacuation in wet. Enjoy! Cheers!
PS Here's my tire. Retired as cords showing on inside shoulder. |

If you're driving it on the street I'd replace them before cords show but yeah like others have said they aren't dead yet!
