Replace it on ther trip, but try to call ahead and set up the deal ahead of time is my vote.

i'd change it and not worry about it...who needs the bother and then you have a decent spare in the garage.

yea, probably...   however....   I don't like to remount a tire again, so I "try" to never break the bead until I replace it....     Just seems prudent...

I actually did replace the tire before the trip.......and again with only 300 miles from home on the trip.

7700 miles on that tire. Wore it down to the cord

I know :worthless: but the old pics are stored on a disc and as computer illiterate as I am, it would be a cold day in Hates before it will get posted .................without help :2vrolijk_21:

I will also have to say that some here are probably like me and do not want to spend half a day in a Harley shop when time is so precious and you want to take advantage of every minute on a trip.

Is that the tire he started the trip with? :nixweiss: ::) ;D ;D ;D

I can't seem to go on a trip without burning up or having to replace a rear tire somehow. Even when I start with a fresh one, something seems to happen. But, it is what it is. Stopping to get a new tire ain't the worst thing in the world, as long as you don't need to get towed off the road to get one! ;)

This one was towed (my trailer) - the bike began to shake - wobble so much it was un-ridable.
