I am having a tough time with this.

From my past experience, tire wear seems to accelerate once your past half service tread life with them.

My car tire is marvelous though... I think it'll NEVER wear out.

The next time I replace the tires on the spare rims there will be a car tire going on.
It is so much easier to change the front. Just can,t seem to bring myself to
go with car tires front and rear.

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

My limited experience is that Honda dealers are not too inclined to put riders in the wind at the front of their service line.

Change them before you go and no self induced drama on your trip.

You are so correct Dirtstiff. Why add stress that you could actually control? But however you go, ride safe and enjoy!
