Time to ReTire?

My latest thing to obsess about on my bike is whether I should replace my rear tire before or after (or Zod-forbid during) my trip to Seattle and British Columbia in July. Last year I posted that my odometer read 33931.6 miles when I put the current set of tires on. With my odometer currently reading about 40250 right now, that means I have about 6318 miles on these tires. I usually get around 8-9000 miles per rear tire, and the upcoming trip is at least 1884 miles. It’s gonna be close. I’ll have to watch that rear tire like a hawk. And I’m not riding it very much between now and the trip.
The front is no problem. Typically it lasts 50% longer than the rear.
