    Default Dang it!

    Sorry for the harsh language in the topic. Just as I figured out the extra funds to get my dream revolver the scoot needs new tires!! Yeah when you've only got 2 don't mess around LOL. Getting them put on Saturday morning and then take it real easy for a few miles. Now I really need to move that little S&W 19.

    **To be clear I had an issue with the front picking up a very long nail, was hoping to go another month or so before replacing them**

    Didn't just notice, but had an unexpected issue with the front and feel it's best to replace them together.

    RATS!!

    When I rode motorcycles I'd replace them both at the same time.

    Depending on tread depth and ability to get a matching front tire. Then again, still being early in the riding season, better here than on the road.

    I don't replace mine in pairs unless they need both. Maybe if it was some kind of sport bike I would but I've never noticed any adverse handling characteristics just replacing a front or rear tire on my cruisers.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    When I road a bunch I would get 2 rears for every front. Age of tires is important as tread. I bought a lower miles BMW when I was young that had tires from the 70's on it. It was the mid 90's. I've been without a cycle for 5 years now, so i must live vicariously through your tire quest.
