[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1460067, member: 19880"] I confess that I have taken a rear tire almost to that point upon two occasions. The first time was completely inadvertent and was surprised (shocked) when I saw the belt starting to appear. Didn't leak and I was close to home so no drama. The second time was on a 6,000 km "fly and ride" to pick up my new-to-me 2011 FJR in British Columbia. The (Bridgestone) tire was in decent shape when I left, but I spent two full days pulling a utility trailer behind the bike across the Canadian prairies in a strong cross wind. Extra weight plus the side force from the wind caused extraordinary wear rate. In Winnipeg, I was surprised at the evident wear and by the time I got to Ottawa, it was a concern. Long weekend and no open shops so I decided to do the last 1100 km home. Made it without incident, but I won't push it that far again. Belts showing but still holding air. Traction diminished for sure, but it was an easy conservative highway run. [/QUOTE]
