Tire replacement question
The wife and I are getting ready to do some 2up traveling in July. I am going to replace rear tire (8500 miles on it, had to replace it last summer because of a flat ) but the front tire is showing 4/32 tread depth at 15000 miles. I would rather be safe than sorry. Think I should change it too?

RE: Tire replacement question
I worry alot about tires. I change mine long before some of my buds do. I would change them both. A rear tire rarely lasts me more than 5,000 miles before I decide it's time for a new one.

I've got 23k on my front tire and it's about done. \\;If it's on your mind I'd go ahead and replace it so you're not worrying about it.

5k miles? You must store tires in your garage. \\;
