I expect to take a trip this summer on my California that will probably be between 6000 to 9000 miles over a three week period. Based on the dismal life of my OEM Dunlop D251rear tire (~5000miles) I now have Avon tires mounted in hopes they will do somewhat better. Even so, when I start my ride I'll have about 2000 miles on the Avons. So it is highly likely that I'll need, at least, a replacement rear tire before I get home.
What is the feeling about tire changes when traveling. Would you seek out a MG dealer in hopes that they would know the bike better and therefore be less likely to screw anything up? Or, do you feel any competent motorcycle dealer would be able to handle the job?
I know that regardless of which way I go I would need to make sure that the tires were in stock at the chosen dealer by pre-ordering them.
