Hi folks;
En route to Argentina writing to you from Harbin Hot Springs in California.
Thinking I was a smart cookie and well prepared I ordered a pair of Shinko 705 tires in advance to be ready for me in San Diego.
Problem is, my tires are looking pretty sore and I probably should have replaced these in Seattle before I left. I've attached some photos here:
Photo Album - Imgur of the rear and front tires.
The rear tire looks like I'm almost at the wear bar. I also noticed some slight cupping to the rear tire.
I put 3,000 miles on these tires before I got the bike (the tires had mileage on them before I got them).
I did some Google Maps calculations and it looks like its 100 miles to San Francisco, and 662 to San Diego via Highway 1.
So my question is:
1) What would you as a stromtrooper do? Replace the rear tire in San Francisco? Go for San Diego so I can grab the tires I already bought?
2) If you'd replace the rear tire, what would you replace it with?
