I have a trip out to MT at the latter part of June.
The tires I have now would make it but would be shot about
the time I get back.
I have a much better set on my spare wheels.
Do I go ahead and change to the spares just to be safe?

Call out to a dealer in the area and have a set of tires waiting for you. Ride new tires home!

Change them and change back later to finish them off around town. No cost just your time in labor and its not even a hard job.
The last 4 words of that paragraph should answer your question, besides, I'm not riding down to Pigeon Forge alone. It would be like Marshall Dillon without Festus.Originally Posted by shortleg0521
Change them before you go and no self induced drama on your trip.

Guess I wil have to go down to the lONG bRANCH TO SEE Kitty about getting her to help me change these damn tires.
The spares have about 10 to 15 K left on them. Should be good for the season.
Changing tires out on a trip SUCKS !!!!!!!!

My last two trips west I changed out my front tires half way through. Whats nice is both times they did it without me having to wait since I was traveling

Not necessarily, On my way down to Franklin a few years back, I called a Honda shop in NC, verified they has the tires, and they held a spot in their schedule.
I got in and out in about two hours. Just enough time to enjoy a meal.
I am leaving Sunday on a long ride of about 10,000 miles. My current Elite 4's only had about 5,000 miles on them and were showing very little wear. Yesterday I had a new set of Elite 4's installed and I will re-install the old tires when the new ones wear out.
The last thing I want to worry about on a long ride is tires.
