On my first rear stock Dunlop, I got just over 12K on it. Is this typical? I am about to turn over 13K on this second tire. I measured the tread, and there still seems to have some additional miles on it. What should I look for let me know that my tire needs to be replaced? Also, i have made it a policy to change the rear brakes the same time I change the rear tire. I plan to use the Lyndall Zpads (for those wanting the stock #, it is 7195)....I have them on my front and simply love these pads. Finally, will I get more miles from the Michelin tire? Thanks!

 

My riding buddy changed his original Dunlops at 15000mi. rear, because he was leaving on a 2000 mile trip, but he still wasn't down to the wear marks. He changed the front at 23000, just getting to the wear marks.

 

12500 on my first rear tire, 12000 on my second, on my third now and I'm expecting the same.

I don't know about typical, but to me it is outstanding! I just installed my 3rd rear tire at 17,000 mi. 2nd D402 had 9,500 mi. and had no tread left. I run 40-42 psi in rear and ride probably 40% 2 up.

 

I generally get 8000 to 10,000 miles on a rear tire. You folks are doing substantially better than me on tire milage.

WOW! I am lucky to get 5000 miles out of a 402. And I am talking NO tread left. The one I'm replacing this week has just under 5000 mile on it.

 

10-12k miles on the rear and change the front with the second rear tire. This has been pretty consistenton my 2 previouselectra glidesand myFLTRfor the last 18 years. Dunlop OEM tires for replacements.

On my FLHS the rear brakes lasted over 30k. On my FLHTCI I went thru 3 sets in 25k. (they were having problems that year) on my FLTR I have gotten 28k out of the first set.

 

Just replaced the original Dunlop rear tire at 15000 with 3/32" tread left. I run 40 lbs. and probably 80% solo. I use front and rear brakes together always, and I do downshift while slowing. My 02 would do about 12000, but the 07 has a wider tire on it. I be happy camper.

 

10000 seens to be the magic number for me.

 

have 10,500 on the rear and looking to change mine out this summer. wife and i are going on a trip in october nad want a new rear tire by then. so it sounds like its 2 to 1 on the tires 2 rears to 1 front
