9500 miles, down to 1/32, could’ve gotten a couple of hundred more miles maybe

I was at a bike rally a decade ago and some dude on a Softail kept doing burnouts. In the morning looked across the campground and realized he snapped his belt as a result. This of course created arguments w/ his OL as they had no way to leave the rally

I don't know how you guys are getting so many miles on yours. Good on ya..

My rear American Elite was installed 1-5-22 and I've put roughly 9,400 miles on it since then and I'm at 3.5/32. I don't see how people can get 20k plus out of a rear tire but then again I ride 2up alot and I'm not the easiest on the throttle either. My front American Elite was on the bike when I bought it and it still has 4/32s. New is 6/32s for the front and 11/32s for the rear
