HB, I didn't say you were wrong, I just said I disagreed with you.

Agree with the above. Although I tend to go more with synthetics and Kevlar on my legs and a leather jacket, we all have to ride as we feel comfortable.

The other side is if you ride your bike only 5,000 miles per year (which is not a lot of riding) the tires should only last 2-3 years anyway before they wear out. If you just let it sit in the garage you probably won't care how old your tires are. I have a neighbor who has a 10 year old bike with less than 5,000 miles on it. I'm sure it has it's original tires on it. I'm also sure he has no plans to put new tires on it.
