12000 out of the 1st, 11000 out of the second, just put the 3rd one on at 22000 miles, still running original front tire. I am not easy on tires, I used to get tween 4 and 6 on rear tires regular, if it aint broke dont fix it. Stock tire will let me lean into corners as far as the bike will go till I scrapes, I see no advantage with going with any other tire either because of grip or price. Found tires on sale, front 116, (in a couple weeks or a month) rear 173, best price in the metromess.

Got just about 7,500
I just replaced my tires on my 08 FXDF, got about 7,500 on them. I probably could have gotten about another 500 miles or so, but after they get down to about 3/16th of inch, I like to get them changed out. Besides, I wanted to get rid of that Dunlop rear and get something a little stickier. I put a set of Avon Venoms on, the rear being a Cobra 180/70R-16 .
The old Dunlop rear just didn't have the traction I wanted, I think there is just too much air in that tread design for a street tire.
