I have 15,000 on my back one. I probably should have changed it at 14,000.

I have well over 20,000 on my front E3, and it still has a lot of tread left. I don't think I can wear it out. If Dunflop made the E3 in a 150-80-16, I would be running one on the back too.

I bought a bunch of E3s.

The last one only lasted a couple of days. Then it got shoved into the transmission.

I'm getting a new Ultra, and I almost can't wait to wear out the stock tires.

Just switched to E3s myself -- love 'em. Smooth ride and great cornering. I was only able to get about 6k miles on the stock rear tire as I live in the mountains and do a fair amount of two-up riding. I'm hoping the E3 will give me 9k on the rear.
