Put the front tire on the rear and put the new one on the front.
I decided to try out the Specialized Turbo Elite. I had Michelin Pro Race 3 before(well and still do...on the rear now).

You certainly got your money's worth out of that one! I'm known for squeezing every last mile out of tire, but even I don't let them get that worn.

It went from OK-looking to that in one ride. Check those tires out regularly, folks :)

Amazing.

When we were kids we'd be tatooing the pavement with skids trying to bald the rear tire. We seemed to think that making the rear tire look like a racing slick would make us faster.

Holy cow, I remember that. My first bike was used and cost 50 cents.

How many put playing cards in the spokes or did wheelies?
