April 24, 2009, 71,177km

Got new rubbers front and rear (Michelin Pilot Road 2: 417 euro). Although the old ones were good for at least several thousands of kms more I wanted fresh rubber because of the mega trip ahead. I kept the old front tire because it must still be good for another 5,500km, so I can use it later. I guesstemate that the old rear was good for another 3,000km. I found that not worth the trouble of keeping it.
