The tyre is black when you buy it, use it until it turns a shade of grey. You should know the grey colour as it is the colour of canvass, wait until all the grey is even and then bin it, or, another way is when the rim shits itself
Thats the way we do it downunder

you know your tyres are gone when you start grinding the rims to dust, and when the negetive ground clearance scrapes through the chassis into your batteries... my mentality is a little TOO tight budgeted...

It depends what surface you are running on. On carpet, if you are on a tight budget you change when a groove on the inside of the tire occurs. If you have money to throw around, when the middle molding line wears down.
