Default How Far do you go

Ok just put a new set of tyres on my bike, and as usual im always suprised how bad the handling had become on the old tyres.

So how worn do you let them get? are you a down to the cords rider
Or do you get them changed when they are prity well squared off.

I change the rear when it's square, but no cordage.

changed mine on Sat because the back was starting to square.

I thought it handled OK myself, Just meant I lent it into the corners more to use the unworn bits of tyre. Though I must admit it did track abit what with the square front as well.
