Depends how you ride to a certain extent but maybe 15,000 miles. Some much more others a bit less...

25 to 30,000 miles... Oh wait you're talking MC tire. Sorry. I expect to get 30 out of my car tire. Probably 15,000 on the foot board. Wife says I take corners too low.....

Proper INFLATION and how you ride are huge factors on tire life. 12- 15K is pretty normal under good conditions

If you don't crack the whip a lot and do mostly highway riding 20,000 is not difficult. The first tire on my bike was at 22k. Had about 3k left before the warning bars.

Had 16000 miles on my rear. CVO Ultra, wasn't worn to the tread bars, but close. Got a slit in the tire and decided to get it changed. May have gone 18000 don't know.

friend on minbe put 23000 on his rear and it was done. 15,000 to 20,000 seems to be the norm.

Had 18,000 miles on my SGS when I traded. 4/32" frt & 5/32" rear. I've never had OEM tires wear this good!
