Default How many miles out of a rear tire?

How many miles are you guys getting out of your rear tire? I've got 5900 on my 200mm and the center is smooth. I know riding styles vary, and I'm not doing burnouts or anything. Just curious if this is normal wear... TIA!

On my 07 NT been through several, about 8500-9000 start looking to get new ones one set got almost 12000, I ride mostly backroads 1-up and kinda easy but like to get hot in the twistes sometime. Find Dunlops little harder and lasts a little longer that is what I use

Cool

I have 2100 on my stock 200. I plan on burning it down a little so I can get a 210.

I just changed mine at 7500 miles. There was still a bit of tread left (was right at the wear indicator).

I'm gonna have to get a new one. I'll prolly get 2300-2400 if I push it. The most I've ever gotten out of a tire is 4500 i duno how i did that. It's a metz, yea they are soft, they say it's riding habits...??....
