I have 10,000 on that one.

So 40,000+ combined between both of them.

And no problems whatsoever!

Ok.... With all the miles put on your M8s... How many miles are you getting on your original tires? I've got 5300 on my King and getting ready to leave on a 3000 mile ride over the 4th. Tires look pretty good but they do have wear on them. Thanks. Kevin

If I remember correctly, my factory tires had 8/32" of tread when new, so just measure your tread and compare against that. I just hit 5000 miles and have 6/32" remaining - i ride all highway miles. So, with consistent riding style, i 'should' be able to get just shy of 20k miles.

I have 9K miles and not sure what the tread depth is, but when i get back from Glacier in a month I should have over 12K, which was when I had replaced both front and rears on my 2015 RK which were 2/32 ..looking forward to new Dunlop American elites again

FYI, DennisKirk says the AE fronts have a tread depth of 6/32" new. You're doing pretty damn good then! The rear have 11/32" new.
