Default How many miles do you get out of a rear tire

Well I have 6000 miles on my Deluxe and the rear tire is pretty much bald down the middle. I ride two up about 1/3 of the time. I think I read on here that most people get about 10,000 miles out of a rear tire. Is that true?

How much money is a new rear tire going to cost me installed?

I get 11-12k out of my rears on my Road King.

A new WWW tire is between 99 and 180 bucks depending on where you get it. A new tube is 8-15 bucks. If you carry the wheel in, you may get off as cheap as 20 bucks to have it mounted. If you take the whole bike in,I'd figure on 50 bucks.

14,358 miles when My Mechanic said, " you are gonna need a new rear tire before next season....

The harder you ride it, the faster it wears out lol
