Do the Michelin CII's recommend 42 psi in the front? Or is that what you put in it?
Boy, at that pressure, you could probably run over a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.

 

Actually that was a typo. I run 41psi - which is the max cold tire rating.

 

I just changed my original front (from 2008) with 34000 Miles on it.

15K and still going...

 

18k on the rear of RGS & 25k on the front. This is consistent with another Touring model I had. Probably could get a few k more, but because of the rain we get in the summer, I change about 2-3k early. My Fat Boy ate up rear tires at around 8k. Mostly ride solo.

 

I just checked. 22,222 miles and still on the bike.
Getting ready to replace very soon.

 

Replaced the rear at 17K after it blew and I'll be changing my front at 22K tomorrow. I'm thinking I was doing good until I started reading some other posts. I'm impressed!

 

Got 23k out of the rear on my 14 RK. Alot of those miles were in 90 to 110 plus temps.

 

Laugh if you will, but I have just over 11k and have a set of Avon Cobra's awaiting installation before the month is over.

 

I got around 20k out of my original Dunlops. The rear started cupping, the front was just fine, but I replaced them both. I put the same OEM's on mine again.


Here is a post I put up recently about OEM Tires:
