Just barely into the wear bars, but best to replace under controlled circumstances.  Got right at 24,000 miles out of it.

Decided just to be safe, when I finished up the ride to Tucumcari, put on a new Cobra this morning so I have lots of rubber to play with for the Blue/Grey ride coming up shortly.  Got in about 2,500 miles running up to Tucumcari and back.  Great friends and awesome experiences.

Was that a rear tire?

If so please ship it to me so I can wear out the edges  cooldude

That was a front tire.  Still had a lot of rubber on the sides too, even with a lot of New Mexico sweepers.

Yeah, I saw Maris and Roger's pictures.  Looked like a lot more fun than the heat of West Texas.  Always prefer the windy ones.  Maybe next time.

See you in a couple weeks.
