If you're not yet down to the wear bars I would go for it. Like I said, the only thing I would worry about is rain and it looks like that shouldn't be a problem.
You can almost give this response to any query asked on the internet...Thank you everyone for the input. Seems about 50% would go(9) and 50% wouldn't risk it(7)
Can you post a picture of the rear tire? I like to run mine until the cords just start to show. I never let my front wear like that but with the strong sidewalls on the BT020 F (Kevlar) I don't think it is that unsafe on shorter trips. The only worry I have is if I run over a sharp rock I may have to call for a tow because I am sure the worm won't work well on a tire that thin. I feel safer with a near cord BT020 F rear tire than a new PR2. I don't take Diana with me when the rear gets thin. Just finished a ride over Highwood Pass and still no cords showing. The tire I am running on the rear at the moment is one that I removed prior to a long trip. I put it back on to use the rest of the rubber after the other one started to show cords.Okay, now I'm thinking I may give it a try...any other thoughts?
I'll post a picture of the tire after my return to CT tomorrow since I have a camera there. At the time of the picture the rear tire will have 10,600+ highway miles.Can you post a picture of the rear tire? I like to run mine until the cords just start to show.
