Yeah, it does sound crazy, but 5,000 is only 17% of 30,000, so from a percentage perspective it's not really that much more. I want to get it to the same as in that other guy's photo, where the belt is showing continuously all around.
It's March 8 today. At my current pace I'm going to blow through that 5,000km by late April. Blink of an eye really.
I'm never buying one of these tire again. My tour will end this fall. If I buy one of these tires now I really would be riding it for the rest of my life.
