I want to do the Tail of the Dragon this June or July and I'm wondering whether to replace my stock tires now, even though they've got plenty of tread left, or just use the stock ones for the trip. I've got about 5,800 miles on them now with just a hint of a flat spot on the rear from all the commuting. Looks like the rear could go to 8-9,000 miles easy, even longer for the front.
I like twisties but I'm not one to push it right to the limit; I don't feel like throwing away my investment and being stranded and/or injured far from home. Just looking for a little fun. But I did plan on getting a set of Pirelli Sport Demons once the original tires wore out. Opinions? (Especially from anyone who's done that ride.)
