[QUOTE="bmwhd, post: 307803, member: 271"] All, I'm leaving very soon for a trip to the hill country in Tejas (known for rough chip sealed roads). I just noticed my rear Avon Storm has a slow leak (about 5-8 psi a day). The tire is just starting to show a bit of wear at 2,500 miles and has lots of life left. In the short time I have before departure, I can: 1) Do nothing, just keep the portable pump handy and check it often 2) Pull the rear wheel and take it to the shop and have it checked (very difficult logistics in the time allowed but possible if I take off work) If 2) reveals a defect in the tire (I can't see any with the naked eye) - my shop only has a Strada or a D220 on hand to replace the Storm. Should I run a mixed front Storm/rear Strada for the trip? Replace both? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
