The wear out on the tires seems to be a non-linear function.
This summer on the OBR I noticed descending toward one of the rest
stops that my bike felt a bit strange.
Stopped at the rest stop, ate and drank and got ready to depart. I
happened to glance at my rear tire and
saw casing exposed in several areas through the tread. The great
Sunshine Sports folks that support OBR
fixed me right up. That JB had ~2500 miles on it and I'd looked
closely at before departing that day.
The tire feeling strange started happening on a +35 mph descent.
Be careful out there.

I've had a set of Jack Browns on my Quickbeam since getting it in May
'09, and I've probably got near 2500 miles on them. They seem to ride
just fine, but I'm wondering what I should be looking for to know if
the tread is worn out. I'm 180 lbs., for what it's worth, and I
assume
these should have a max lifespan of about 3000 miles?
If the original 'checkerboard tread' has been worn down to totally
smooth, are they worn out? Or are they basically fine until all tread
is gone? As expensive as good tires are I'm not eager to change
sooner
than necessary, but I do have a set of Schwalbes waiting that I'd
like
to try out, maybe just to mix up my riding with new rubber?
