It looks like a really nice day. The last time I wore a tire down to the casing, I got a flat and I was on a 200K far from anywhere with weather in the mid-30s and drizzle. I had a spare LoupLoup Pass tire in my bag, but still, having to take off my lobster gloves to change it in the cold drizzle was pretty miserable.
The moral of this story is to check your tires frequently. It's not always going to be a nice day when it fails.
