milage on rear tire of 07 custom
just curious to see what all of you are getting for milage out of your 07 custom tires?
I have 4400 miles on my bike and the tire appears that it will need replaced soon
Is that normal?

Yea, that doesn't sound right. I've got 4700mi. on my FXSTC and it's still in good shape. I did loose the wheel weight, at 1000mi. but I replaced it.

What pressure are all of you using? I've been told that going with the manf.prescribed pressures tends to leave them underiflated, and cause premature wear. I have no idea ig\f there's any truth to it though.

At about 5800 miles I replaced the oem Dunlop with a 210 Metzeler. Here's a picture of the old and new tire.

There may be another 1500-2000 miles left on the old tire, but I've had good luck with Metzlers.
At 4800 miles I put a 90/90 Metz. on the front. The Dunlop front was worn out on the right side due to the several right turn cloverleafs on my daily commute route.

If I am not mistaken, I read somewhere that you should get about 10,000 on a tire. Course at 2800 miles I got a roofing nail, that sucks.

My tire is ready to be changed and it has 4,544mi. That is the stock 200mm tire and it does still have tread but not enough if youwant free tires for life which is in affect for 2007 C.V.O. bikes. I think that gos for all models in 07? the tread can only go to 2/32 I believe.
