I replaced mine at 12500. From what I have read here, and IMHO, it appears that the average rear tire life, regardless of manufacturer is about 8-12K. I am sticking with Dunlops coz they are easily available in a pinch at any HD dealer anywhere you may travel.

I just replaced my rear D-402 tire with 9,500 miles on it. It was worn past the wear bars.
