Another thing to mention, is that its NOT a good idea to chase the last few mm of "chicken strips" away. I know some guys who will make lighthearted fun of those of us with say, 1/4 to 1/3" of underused tire. And they ride at near track-like speeds in corners on the street - sometimes. A couple of them have also went off the road. Things are just too unpredictable to use up all your safety margin while riding on public roads.
One incident in particular, some guys were out riding twisty country roads; and the one had just been recoated with that tar and stone chip method. The problem was, the warning sign was halfway through the corner and my friend was already cooking through it. Needless to say, he slid across the lane and into the opposite ditch. Luckily it was mostly just a grass median leading into someones front yard. No one was hurt, and bike damage was almost nonexistent. But you never know. Could have been a vehicle coming the other way, and boom.
Keep it safe out there.
