There are plenty of shops along the way that spending an hour or so to get a new one mounted up will be better than trying to stretch a 1/2 to 3/4 trip tire into a full trip tire.

Any thoughts...?

I change mine at 3/32>

Your tire is only a year old so should be sound with regard to structural integrity>

What does the rear look like?

Run it. If you really DO have 3/16 and not 3/32, you're good to go for a while.

Change out is at 2/32

Rear has 1,000 on it...

Front is a strong 5/32.... I'm just not sure if that is 5,000 miles (ES Trip) worth of tread left...
