There seems to be a lot of question as to mileage and brand. There are so many sizes and that makes a difference. I would like to do this for a few tires but just 3 sizes and brands but feel free to post your experience along with size and brand.

 

I dont go for mileage, i go for prformance, and the mets 210 50 17, works the best for me, wet or dry conditions and i will pay for it,....another note by buddies running perelli, night dragons and they seem good, but im just waiting till he runs it out before i try em

 

I run avons and I have 2000 miles on mine and they still look brand new

 

Dunlop D407 200/55-17 5,000 to 6,000 max ??? idk why, guess im hard on them

 

Knowing mileage is cool. But, knowing the price also fits into the equation. Got a Roadsmart for ~30-35% less than comparable radial tires the same size. If it gets slightly less mileage then the others, its still a winner in my book! And if it gets the same or more mileage, its money in the bank!!

 

i also have a 2008 fatboy and i have 7546 mile now on the stock tires i got with the bike.i have a son inlaw that has a big dog copper that has a 240 back tire and he is at 20k+ miles now with the same back tire that came withthe bike so why cant we get a 20size tire that can get 15 to 20k on it? there has to be some company that make a got long wearing tire. he also has a coworker that has the iron horse bandara with the 240 back tire and a ss 121 motor that has over 14k on it now.

 

Gotta agree! Who in the hell wants a tire that does a gazillion miles but looks like **** and is as hard a rock? Not i..... tires gotta be softer/good tread pattern/looks good/and for my ride WW.

Avons or Metzlers....are my 2 choices. Screw the stockers!....

 

I can't vote as I do not have a 200 tire, but I get 10K per rear wheel with my Avon's. Keep the air pressure around 42-44 on the rear and 40-42 on the front. It works for me. And before someone says that is too high, read the side of an Avon tire.

 

getting ready for the 4th, LOP,,, stock 150 HD,, each one has netted 10k so far.
