I just changed my rear and I had 11K on the clock. Front looks good for another 11K. Hope this helps

Sounds about right. 2-3 rears per front.

The front will last until it dry rots. I have a friend with a 1998 Fatboy that just changed his original front tire. I'd say he pushed it a little too far, but you get the point!!

I have 22,000 miles on the front with plenty for the rest of the year and maybe the winter. I can't seem to get squat out of my rear tire
