Any thoughts on this from someone who has done the Alcan Hwy??
If there is any question about the tires making the trip I would buy new ones. I did a 11.5k round trip to Alaska last year. Due to bad shackles, I had to replace all 4 in Soldotna. When you get there and need tires, you are at their mercy as to what brands they have and how much you will have to spend(obviously shipping costs to AK are built into the price of the tires). If you buy them before, you can shop around and get the brand you want. Mine were in good shape before I left, but I had to have the shackles replaced in Whitehorse and the tire wear had already started and continued. I wanted to take the tire question (would they get me back home)off the table and enjoy the trip.
