I think it is unwise to run tires  down this far. Sure, sometimes you
can get caught out and it happens, but to  use visible corrd as a wear

before cord is reached. Your tires are safety items.  Replace them
early and often!

I have to ask if you thought i did not  know that? But the Z6 tire has a 
layer of thin cotton cord molded into the  rubber JUST as a wear indicator. Like 
my post said, there is almost 3 mm of  rubber BENEATH the cord. I know because 
i do stuff like cut tires apart to  see.
