approximately how much tread would be on these tyres.. as a percentage.. cheers

i'd say about 40-50% but its hard to tell from a photo, also check your inside of the tyres to make sure its not wearing differently there.

ok thanks for that.. what is the best way to check how much tread are on the tyres??

Get a match and stick it in the groove of the tread with youe thumb nail against the tyre, then measure how much you have sticking past your nail. New tyres are 8mm, so work it out from there.

if ya look around in the tread of tyres you'll see a raised bit every now and then, these are the wear markers. apparently if you are down to them you need new tyres, even though it looks as though the tread is still 1 or 2mm deep

about 40%

plenty for burnouts
