Tired Tires
I would put on some fresh tires before leaving the lower 48. Why pay more and have to arrange supply and a time to change your tires? Alaska is turning into a real destination for bike touring. The distances are greater between services of any kind in the north so tossing a not quite used up tire is cheap compared to any kind of tire problem miles and miles from anywhere. Just for grins check on what it costs for a tire and how much to mount and balance in Whitehorse. All this being said the north is one of the best places for a great ride without a lot of people cluttering up the countryside.
