Tires on FXLRS
So I posted before and never really got a solid answer. How many miles are u guys getting from the stock Michelin tires? I see everyone is building these to be even faster as well…. So how many miles till u hit the warning bar and/or how many miles till she is toasted. The mileage I got off my first set was laughable, and no I wasn’t doing burnouts n what not! Leme kno!

How many miles did you "put down" before your tires were toast?

Well first off I'd suggest toning it down on the forums if you're looking for solid feedback... No one here has given you **** worth being an ******* over.
That said, it really does depend. I tend to burn through tires rather quickly, not doing burnouts or other stunts, however I ride aggressively most of the time.
I'm on my third rear on my 21 FXLRS. First one got me to 7500mi, which was higher than usual, second one I got about 5500 out of, which is more what I'm used to. Just got the third on this past weekend. Trying to take it easier as I may be making a long run at the end of the month and it would be best to have tires in relatively new condition. I average around 2-3k miles a month most of the year, so I usually have to swap out a few rears every year.
I've been running the scorchers which seem to be having about the same life that they did on my Sportster. About 5-6k miles on the rear, and about 12k on the front. I have heard many others get upwards of 10k on a rear with these tires, and I assume that is due to not riding as aggressively.

Just my thoughts on this, I get that you may be frustrated, but lashing out at people that would probably be willing to help answer otherwise will get you nowhere most of the time. Try a more polite approach in the future, be an ******* when you need to be, not when people are simply looking for more information to better assist you.
