Default total miles on a CT?
I started a thread on the Wing darkside forum and thought I'd do it here too.

I've got a total of 30K with a car tire on the back of my bike. I'm close to 18K on the one on it now and it's just about wore out.

The most darkside miles on the wing forum so far is 160K. Let's hear how many darkside miles have been put on Harley's.

I have about 4000. Just went dark last June and the season is short here on the north coast.

What tire are you running that gives you that good mileage? I'm running a Dunlop Sp5000 and I doubt I will get 20K out of it.

So how many miles do you normally get on a stock tire? The most I've gotten is 13K.

I got 12k on original stock tire. I would have got more mileage out of ct with less air psi. ran ct at 34psi. Next ct will run 32psi to see if I get more milage.
