I have a plan to go for a long ride this summer. I did maintenance on my motorbike today. The thing that I most felt uneasy about was a rear tire. That has already worn down flat. I sometimes feel that the rear tire has minimal skid in the rain.
Though I ordered the repairman to exchange only the rear tire, I knew the front tire gets worn away after replacing the rear tire. The front tire was threadbare compared with the new one. I'm not scared about the rear tire skidding but a front tire skid leads to a serious accident.
