Wore out my first Avon Cobra

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

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.
