It was time. Actually, it was way more than time, as you can see. I needed a new rear tire for the BMW. You can buy those on the Internet, kinda cheap, nowadays. I prefer to buy them at my trusted mechanic, which is Die Werkstatt . A place, owned and run by women, in San Francisco, in the Mission District.. Jennifer, the owner, was trained in Munich, Germany. She's racing, too. Her latest interest is racing electro bikes. How cool is that ??!
A couple stats : I switched from a Michelin Pilot Road to a Michelin Pilot Road 2 ( that's a 2 compound tire, softer with more grip on the sides, harder for better milage in the middle ), same measurements 170/60ZR17 .Price : $ 141.80 + $ 36 labor + $ 13.47 tax
= sum of $ 191.27. Milage 27,919.
I hope, the new tire will last about 8000 miles, like the old one.
