Happened to me on my K-bike. Four days into a week-long trip, my rear tire was suddenly worn down to the cords. I thought it had sufficient tread when I left home but the combination of high ambient temperatures, high sustained speeds, and a fully loaded bike conspired to consume the tire (Nevada and Utah in August). It cost me a full day to locate a new tire, ride three hours to the shop, wait for the install, and then ride three hours back. Lesson learned!
