Took the bike to get a few things fixed, and they said i needed both sets of new tyres. In some places the ridge is gone but in the middle the space is still there. IMG_0815.webpIMG_2200.webp
 
That looks like a Road Pilot 5. See the photo below...this is what a new tire looks like. It would appear that you do a lot of highway riding, and it has worn the center section. This has resulted in a change of the profile in the tire - you now need additional effort to get the bike to lean over. Is it worn - yes. Is it worn out...not in my opinion.Michelin-Road5-tire003.jpg-535322099.webp

I’ve been trying to find the size on these tyres. Would you happen to know what size the front and the back are on 07 year.
 
The yellow arrows show where the wear bars are on your tire. The specified limit is 0.8mm, so you are likely getting close.
You can see the wear bars near the bottom of the picture Gary posted for the new tires.wear bars.webp
