What to do when you're at Big Bend National Park and about 250 miles to the closest dealer that carries a 180/55 17 rear tire? Well, ride slowly. Odessa, Texas north of Fort Stockton is the place that carries this tire. Would you put 250 highway miles on this tire? It ended up making the trip okay, but it would sure worry me. Moral of the story, when it looks worn, it must be worn no matter what the side threads look like! The Z8 Metz served for approximately 14,000 miles and it was replaced with the Battleax at Family Power Sports of Odessa, Texas.
I guess when it gets to that last piece of rubber it starts to go pretty fast!
