"]Wow! They're not tires anymore they're slicks. Looks like they've been over inflated since the inner threads are worn out . You definitely need new tires very soon.

Duh, overinflation wears out the center TREAD. Funny thing is, if you wore them evenly, you would have MORE traction when the tread sipes were gone. More rubber on the road, all else being equal. Also the tires would be more responsive to steering inputs because you would have no tread squirm from the height of the trad blocks.

Thats way too much pressure. A good rule of thumb is 80% of maximum inflation pressure, then adjust accordingly to your driving style & wear pattern.
