Look into metzler they will make alot of differance in handling and ride quality.

 

Man, I just about jizzed in my pants . I could only dream of seeing 20 to 30K on mine. I will be lucky to see 10K before I start looking for a new rubber. Of course, I ride it like I just stole it from the dealership too . I just hope I can do a 2 to 1 ratio with the front and rear, being 1 front to every 2 rears.

 

What are you going 5 mph?

I got 6000 KM YES KM out of my stock rear tire on a 08 Fatboy and I dont ride like an idiot.

 

It depends on when you think your rear tire needs replacing. If you go by the tire wear bars, you should get around 8,000 to 9,000 miles on average. Some riders on here are lucky to get half that mileage, while others say they get over 10,000 miles on a rear tire.
I would say the guy that says he gets 25,000 on a HD rear tire must be counting the miles he trailers the bike.

its on a ultra classic dont know if that makes a difference unless he replaced it and dosnt remember or he could just be ****ing with me

 

There are some dam fine looking bikes on this page! Ya gotta love a well done softie.

But to the subject - I've got about 6K on my OEM Dunrop rear and it's about done. I've heard anything from about 5K to 12K on these. Like TMitchell says - I wouldn't count on getting more from these things. I have a Metzeler on the front and it sticks really well. I'm going Metzeler next on the rear.

 

i avg 10k or so and my front tire got 20k but i ride mostly midwest flat roads with not many twisting turns or hills. mostly easy highway miles

 

dunlops I would say 7k...also depends on the driving done with them...usually the rear will wear more than the front

got 8k on my rear and 10 on my front

 

Metzlers rule

 

Started out with a Maxxix Classic on the back = 3000 mile tire.
