We pulled the mains and packed the bearings at 123.5 hrs, also installed new rubber shoes. I had Van's original tires, got 195 landings but the inside wear was starting to show. I decided to support Van's and bought a new set, they are cheap enough price wise and it keeps me looking at the condition of the brakes and bearings. Sure felt good with the new shoes. Also, the brake pads were about 50%... not bad!

Reiley,

To make this new set last twice as long, switch them to the opposite side when you see wear on the outside of the tire. The motorcycle bead breaker from Harbor Freight ($20) will also make changing them much easier.

Yes that's the plan on this set... and I also need to keep a little closer monitoring on tire pressures.
