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.

Whew! I had a set of Z6s on my RS that I knew were getting a bit thin, but 
went out for one more ride that would be both not too fast or very long. 150 
easy miles later and the cords were showing pretty consistently all the way 
around the tire. 

I knew it was time and had another tire on order. I'm really glad to hear 
that there was a little something to back up the cord that was revealed and will 
order my replacements even earlier next time.
