Tire Mileage: What are you gettin'?
OK so a lot factors affect tire mileage, but how many miles are you getting on your tires before you replace them-- please give tire size and bike. On my '09 Heritage I've got 5,100 miles on original tires: D402F MT90B16 (front) and a D401 150/80B16 (rear) and by eyeballing them without using a meter the tread look a little over half used up. I'll definitely be replacing them as soon as the indicator starts showing. How are your tires holding up?

'09 Fatbob, and replaced the rear (180/70-16) at 10k miles. Might have been able to go a little farther, but didn't want to chance it.
The front still has a few thousand miles left in it.

I was wondering this same thing. I got an 00 fatboy with about 9K in it and the back time needs replacing, but the front looks fine. Is there also a time limit on them? I look at the front and it looks good but I assume it is the original (bought the bike used) so I am wondering even if it looks fine should I replace it too just for caution sake?

Rears 10,000 stock, 6,500 dunlop replacement, 7500 on IRC something, front, it looks like it'll go another 10,000 with no problem. Same on my 99 Heritage. Rears about 8-10,000 but the front went 30,000 and still had tread but I replaced it because it was 5 years old and starting to crack a bit. Wish the rear would last like the front.

On my 08 Ultra I got 8K out of the stock rear D402 and at 10K right now the front still looks about 50% used....
Good luck & ride safe

10K+ with the stock rear dunlop, and the front is still in great shape, I don't push my bike hard, just normal riding. A friend of mine just replaced his on his 06 RK. 2 up riding, 16,000, really pushing it i think.

FXDF stock Dunlops 11 to 1250 on the rear 20 to 21000 on the front, Im not experimenting any more, cant beat em for miliage and they handle well, not the top ranking in handling but I put too many miles to screw around with 5 to 8 on the back and 10 on the front (metz 880 marathons)
