Tires are pretty important and not terribly expensive if you shop around. Good idea to order well ahead of time so you are not riding bald and have to creep it home. Been there done that. The most I pay to have them changed is $40 on the bike. Sometimes $25 if I feel like going to an Indy that I only trust to change tires.

 

90% of tire failures happen in the last 10% of tread.

 

....right!?

As I said, end of a 3200 mile trip, and it was hovering above 100 degrees, flat straight interstate....
