Just bought a lovely condition 2011 Cbr600f with only 5k. Tyres have a lot of tread but are dated 2013 ( Bridgestone Bt016 pros ).. I don't think they are cracked but need to have another look in daylight.

Should I be looking to swap them ?

I think I would be if they are 12 years old, only thing holding you upright

Yeah I would swap those out! New tyres always bring confidence for me.

Yeah I think I'd be too paranoid now, any recommendations, mostly dry / summer ish use, not exactly sliding knees and elbows etc, might manage 2k a year at a push.
