Pilot sports, wear line

Anyone actually replace their michelin pilot sports when they reached the wear line, or can they go longer?

Thanks,

I didn't replace my rear tires until the middle strip of tread was completely gone. It wasn't a big deal for me when it was dry, but it felt very unsafe when it rained and I tried to drive on the highway. The back end was getting very loose and I had to get off the highway because I thought I was going to sping out or something.

Replace it. Wear marks are there for a reason, you know... Trying to be cheap on tires are the worst thing you can do. Tires are the only parts that come in contact with the ground, so it should be taken care of the most.

With tires at wear mark, you will just lose control in wet. Sliding around is pretty fun though as long as you keep in control I once didn't know my insides were all worn out on my previous car due to bad camber, and was wondering why my car would slide all over the place in wet... haha.
