i replaced the rear and then later decided to replace the front also just for that extra peace of mind.having
to change them in route would be a real pain in the but.
When you find them, BMW dealers are pretty good about such things and tend to put you to the front of the line. The thing is to time it. Where do I stop? There's only a few places in between, a couple in SLC, one in Idaho, and Medford Oregon. A couple in Colorado too... Some guys call ahead and plan to stop. The rear is easy to do, it's like a car tire, the front is like any other bike. I'll make up my mind in the next couple weeks.
