Andy: New tires are cheap insurance. If I have any doubts about the condition of what's on the bike, I install new tires before any long tour. If the old ones have some life left in them, just change them out when you return home, and squeeze those last few miles out on home turf. A tour should be fun, and flat tires are a needless distraction.
