Are your tires new, if not whats the tread depth? If they are new and your asking this question maybe you should consider taking the bus lol

You will get anywhere between 7,000 and 17,000 miles.

Lots of variables come into play to determine tire life.
Riding style, weight your carrying, type of road surface you ride on, etc.

Depending on how you ride...2009 & up Tour Bike OEM tires generally will get at least 15K.

13,300 miles, usually two-up and has 5/32nd remaining. Care for a cup of tea, 'cause the rear tire is cupped (oh that was bad). It will be Michelin Commander II next.

Riding the flat lands mostly using the center of the tire will wear them out much faster.

On my third factory dunlop. will roll over 30k this week. Got 12k on the first two. Ride mostly highway, but am a throttle jockey. This tire is looking to wear about the same as the last two.
