I would buy that new front NOW ... strap it on, carry it until your current front is shot. Unless you are CERTAIN your current front will make the whole trip, I would carry a NEW front on board ... ready when you need it!
That is what I did ... turns out I could have made my trip on my old TKC80 Continental. The good news was I was able to sell the more than half worn tire to a Moto shop guy in La Paz, Baja! And extra $15 in my pocket ... and he mounted my NEW tire for free! DEAL! (the TKC is a $100 tire ... so the shop guy still got the better deal! no worries)
