[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1235408, member: 329"] Having to replace a tire is one of the worst things that can happen on a trip and something I take great pains to avoid. My rule of thumb is not to leave home on used tires unless I think that I have twice as much tire life left as needed. Heat kills tires and is a function of load, speed, and the temperature of the road surface. Can a heavily loaded bike ridden at high speeds in warm temperatures cut the tire life in half? Obviously, the answer is "yes". Sorry it happened to you but certainly a good lesson for all............thanks for posting all the details! [/QUOTE]
