[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1176472, member: 35438"] I look at it from an economics standpoint. if you have 1000 miles left in a tire you already have 8000 miles on, you'd save about 11% of the value of that tire by riding that 1000 miles ( 1000 / 9000 ) What will a new tire cost you? If you buy it on the road, you'll pay retail plus labor. I've been buying my tires at a good price and mounting them myself for years, so I don't know, but I'd guess maybe $225. So you'd save what? About $25. The last time I had to have one replaced on the road was several years ago, but jeez! What a hassle [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] I'd replace the tire before leaving. [/QUOTE]
