Default Tire life...
I had 12,250 miles on my Dunlop before I had to replace it and now have 10, 800 miles on a Michelin that I think will do another 1,500 miles. Does this go along with what you guys are getting out of tires?

11,800 miles on the rear of my '06 RKC. Front looks brand new. Afriend of mine says it is roughly a 2 to 1 ratio. He says you'll change the rear twice for every 1front tire. Right now I would say he is fairly accurate.
