It's going to vary based upon your riding style and the roads you ride on.

On my 1200 Sportster, my rear tire was more or less shot after 6,500 miles. Front tire still had life in it though.

I do a lot of curvy road riding too. Try to avoid straight highways.

If you're looking for better tire mileage choose Michelin CommanderII tires. My original Dunlaps only lasted 11k. The bike also handles way better now. 2015 ultra limited
