[QUOTE="bgross, post: 1176299, member: 21321"] Life is a balancing act, with trade offs at every turn. Since you value the safety of ample tread and recognize the fact that tires can be expensive, you might consider investigating the use of a [redacted] tire. On the $ side of the equation you'll pay 35% less for your tire. On the tread life side you'll get 2x, 3x, 4x - or more. Scooter just changed his [redacted] tire with 39,000 miles on it, and scooter is not a sedate rider. Gary left Florida in the summer of 2013 with 25k+ on his [redacted] tire, toured his way to the Left Coast, and did a high speed 50CC ride on the return trip. Last time I checked he had in the neighborhood of 35k. On the social ostracism side, you'll get laughed at, teased, ridiculed, and possibly verbally hazed by naysayers. Just a thought. Enjoy your trip! [/QUOTE]
