The way to know if you "need" new tires is by the wear bars. If you look in the center of the tire and down the treads you sill every once in a while see a bit of rubber that seems to be out of place, these are the wear bars. They should not be flush with the rubber of the tire. If the tire is flush with the wear bar it is time to replace the tire.
Point 2, Bridgestone 020's: Everyone on Sport and Sport Tour bikes that I ride with run these. The question I had was why? They stated that they are good in the twisty turns in the dry and the wet. A couple of the riders had tried Metzler's, and found them about the same, around here much more expensive. So we all now due to a group buying which brought the price down a lot, we have B 020's. We ended up paying 301 Canadian per set. I had them mounted at a local shop for 65.00 drive in and drive out service. I could have taken the tires in separate and had them done for 35.00 but I figured for the extra 30.00 it was not worth my time to take them off and reinstall them.
Just some food for thought,
