How much tread is left?

This should put to rest most of those concerns about riding a plugged tire....

 
Had five plugs needed in the rear during '06 the year after Katrina when the debris trucks were constantly on the road and every roof around was getting new shingles with nails everywhere. Elite II's on my Goldwing. Finally switched to Avon Denoms in '07.

 
Holes 1 and 4&5 came in the first 1000k, so I had them mushroom plugged from the inside. They subsequently started leaking again and I had to use strings to stop the slow leak. Hole 2 I noticed about an hour before I was heading on a long trip (Radisson) where there are no tires or shops available. Hole 3 happened on the trip to Radisson. The tire was about 4/5 worn out so I gave it the heave-ho.
