40-42 miles / gallon? Just kidding, they're not even close to being worn out yet at 7500 miles for me.

just over 7100 on mine maybe another 1500. I get on it fairly hard frequently, no burnouts though.

Got 13,000 on the rear and 20,000 on the front. Granted, that is pretty much to the wear bars.

Smile Tyres?
American motorcycles have tires.

Perhaps Triumphs have tyres before they fall apart.
