The best I ever got on my 2010 Ultra was 17k miles front and back. Did that three times before trading it. Have 5k on my 2016 and they look new.

I'll probably get some backlash on this, but anyone who does not get at least 15 or 16K on OEM Dunlops is doing something wrong, period! Personally, I have never gotten less than 20K.

I like ridding on newer tires. I put on new @ 14K. There was probably another 4-5 k left.

I'm up to 17,000 on my 2014 Limited. They have plenty of thread left, and no noticeable cornering issues.

...more than I wanted. The stock Dunlops on the front of the TriGlide sucked. They tracked minor road imperfections, and broke loose in fast turns. I replaced the front when it was still at about 50% with a Michelin Commander II and it's a huge improvement.

I believe most people under-inflate their tires. I got 20K out of the OEM Dunlops. Now running Mich Comm II's inflated to 41psi f/r. I've never got less than 20K out of any set of touring tires.

Pre-2009 models, 8-9K. 2009 and later, about 18K. I don't wait till the tread gets to the wear bars.

Road conditions and how you ride your bike differs. I wait until cords are showing. YMMV I replaced at 10K rear. I have 15k on the front but might last another 2. Avg. speed of 85mph.
