[ST] First rear tire replacement

["Keith Winter" <kwinter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After 8600 miles and 14 months, I have finally worn the rear 
BT020 on the RS down to the wear bars.  So, I'll be taking it in 
for a new rim protector later on today.  It sure is sad to see 
how much tread is left on the sides, however, most of my riding 
lately has been slabbing it to work each day, so I can't expect 
to wear much on the sides.  I'm hoping I can wear a little more 
off the sides during the western rallye in June! :-)

Since the front still has a few thousand miles in it, I'll just 
replace the rear with another BT020 this time around.  I'm still 
thinking of trying the Avon Azaro II next time around, but they 
sure are expensive, compared to the Bridgestones.  OTOH, I can't 
complain about either the wear or the performance of the BT020s.
