Where are the wear bars on Pirelli Angel GT tires?

My front tire has a tread pattern that I would describe as 'lazy J' grooves (backward) running from the sidewall to the center of the tire in pairs. Every other pair has a space (center of tread) and then a short groove 'continuing' the J but only about half an inch long and entirely in the center of the tread. Are these short 'dashes' the wear bars? When they disappear is the tire 'finished'?

I never ran that tire but look on the sidewall just below the tread or at the very edge of the tread surface for a small triangle or TWI. The wear bars run across the tire at those points and where there is a tread sipe you will see a bar. I think Pirelli puts them on the sidewall on the Angels.
