Great Idea! But...
I just got the front tire replaced with new front brake pads about 2 months ago.
But you think like I do!

Everyone gets on my case because I try to keep my S.G. clean all the time. I think it helps with noticing anything out of place. Had the bike up on the jack cleaning the front wheel and saw hairline cracks on the sidewall of the tire. Only have 4,000 miles on it and bike was still under warrenty so I took it to the dealer and they replaced it at no cost. Many good dealers out there.

I hear you Bill!
No substitute for putting a good eye on it. When I wash and wax my ride, I am wiping, checking, and pulling on stuff all over my bike.
It is an ongoing thing for some of us, I see.

They are making money on the tire package. That should tell you the odds of you really needing it. Just my $.02 on the extended warranty and tire deals.


O.K. I'm ready....
