Hey all, new to site and to Harley. Bought an '08 NightTrain in June and am loving the new ride! Anyone have any insight to what kind of mileage I might get out of the stock rubber? So far have a little over 3000 mi. on them and they don't look to bad yet. Thanks in advance.
I think that most of us were averaging close to 10k on the stock rear tire. That varies somewhat depending on your riding habits (i.e. 2up, speed & burn outs).
I got 7000 out of mine, front and rear. The rear had been bald in the center for a while, the front was borderline illegal and it was inspection time. No burnouts, but I don't putt-putt around all the time either. I ride it like the hot rod that it is, nothing extreme, but I get into it a little bit at times.
i got 3500 on my 08 night train and my back tire may not make the 5k service. i prolly ride a little hard. live here at the dragon. never got more than 5k out of a rear tire on a hd yet.
i have gotten 14k out of the dunlops also only got 5 k with dunlops. avonfront has about 9k on it now with about another 2 to go even though i just had a tube go out one me. dunlops suck compared to avons in my opinion although idid get good milage out of the second set.
