14,105 miles on Dunlop Elite 3 Rear Tire
That's right! 14,105 miles on the Elite 3 tire. My 2007 Ultra Classic has never gotten anywhere close to 6,000 miles on regular Dunlop, Michelin, Avon or Metzler, but the Elite 3 got-r-done. I weigh 270 lbs and have never expected too much, but this is good. My first Elite 3 got about 11,000 miles. These extra miles on the latest tire include a Stugis trip and road miles like that take very little off a tire....Changing the tire today (with another E-3).

on my 07, i had over 13,000 on my e3 when i traded it in and it still looked good. i ran 38 psi on both front and rear.
on another note, the rear dunlop on the new 2010 has lasted me 14,000 and i should be able to get at least another 3,000 out of it. and i don't wait until the last second to replace my tires.

When I first got my EIII's I called Dunlop and they suggested HD recommended tire pressure. Without looking I think that is 36 rear and 40 front. I keep both front and rear at 38 - 40 myself and no problems. If I get 10K out of my rear I will be a happy camper.

Just replaced my rear E3, which had a little over 14k on it. I wore the tire down to the indicators and had some feathering of the edges and felt like a low tire when taking turns. Been a great tire and replaced with a new one last week.
FYI, I purchase my tires from Jake Wilson.com and cannot get the tire any cheaper from anywhere around me and most shops don't carry it.
