Default Street glide rear tire wear

Notice my 2014 rear tire is not lasting and now questioning the warranty I could claim for only 9k miles. Does anyone know if this could be available?

Either way that tire need to be replaced asap! Here is a link to the Dunlop site regarding their warranty rules, good luck. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...8zkhyj5ab8RReq

Is this the original tire or a replacement? Either way, it needs to be replaced ASAP.

I'm a cheap S.O.B. and I wouldn't even ride on that tire...what happened to it? The hell with the warranty you need a tire yesterday. I'd just replace it , you got 9k out of it. I'm estatatic if i get close to 9k out of a back tire.

There are lots of choices and opinions on tires. The Dunlop American elite is a better tire than the factory version. I’m on my 7th and get about 16,000 out of them.

you really need to look at you warranty on tires, even with ESP with tire and wheel warranty. But to answer your question , no.

Tire pressure is a big factor, should be at 38-42.

As soon as I seen that tire I thought , that's a Dunlap.
