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.

Jim, have the same deliema on Wing. Front and Rears are 14K replacements per all owners that I talk to. Will leave east coast with 7K on both and would have hit the 14K before I completed the coast to coast run. Decided I will trailer bike to DSM as life in a uproar right now and won't get to leave here till Monday and want to be in DSM Tues evening. I have a day or two on front end and whole week on tail end of our plan so If we need a day for tires before getting home I have that freedom. I am so so so ready for a break!!!

Here's hoping for some good weather for our last ride out of the Puget sound.
News feed says fair and 60 in Lynnwood this morning. My deck says 55 and raining. :(
Loading up for Phoenix when we get back from the rally.

Me too. If you need anything, let me know. If the tires don't look good, I could hit SLC that saturday on the way back. There are two BMW dealers there and an independent BMW shop. If I need it before that, there's Medford OR or if it looks ok, then it's homeward bound.

Looks odd to see people wearing jackets at the same time we're walking around almost naked and still smothering.
