The wear pattern and the damage on the side walls look like your tires have been used at low pressures and you are using a lot of high torque from you motor. I personally thing that getting a thousand miles from a tire not to be bad. Yours look like they are still very usable with sealant and a few pounds higher pressures.Hi
I`m running stock Butcher tires on my 23 Kenevo. After 1200km rear is almost done. Side knobs are leaking milk, there is some lamination on the wall under side knobs and you can see strings going out on tire wall. I was running at low pressure of about 1,2bar at the rear. I run usualy at 1.8 bar at the rear. So I assume that low presure is mostly guilty for side knobs problem and side wall problem. I was happy with how this tire on roots, sand and dirt but not so happy on loose gravel and wet roots. Oh and one thing that I noticed, this tires have a LOT of rolling resistance. What is best replacement for it? I dont want maxis tires..

I agree about chucking it away. But still not bad mileage for obviously heavy use.I'd have binned that 3 months ago
I agree about low pressure, this was because of tires leaking at knobs. Low pressure was run at the end of this milage.The wear pattern and the damage on the side walls look like your tires have been used at low pressures and you are using a lot of high torque from you motor.

I’m due for some new tires and I’m not sure if to go with the Specialized combo or something else, I’m riding on hard pack with lots of loose small rocks, mainly on the bends of course, any suggestions? Price is important to me.I agree about low pressure, this was because of tires leaking at knobs. Low pressure was run at the end of this milage.
Regarding motor I mostly use eco or trail, turbo not so much. I have road bike also and I like to put more effort in pedaling. I`m looking at elevation gain in this time. I made 21500m in 1200km with this tire. I will go to Kryptotal to see how Conti feels on the trails..
