Mine has 5500Miles on it and have a new one on order, seems a little pre-mature for such low miles.

THANKS
Over 12,000 right now with plenty left.

Got 13k on my first stock rear d402 WWW, 13k out of the second and the fronts due. I think its a joke to have to replace a tire every year. We are getting took. The best I can do is buy a pitbull lift and have a local indy either mount and bal. or just bal. Dealer got me for 286.00 for my last rear tire, never again. I ride 2up 98% of the time.

I usually get 10,000 to 12,000 miles on my rear tire. I have a new streetglide now and my tire has about 5000 on it. Still looks very good....should make it to at least 10,000.

I am glad to see this thread because I have been sorta wondering about mine. I have 12,500 and there is actually quite abit of tread left. I am about to take off for a 2800mi trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway and I am sure I'll be able to get all of that and some more out of my rear tire. Just the way I drive i guess. My bud gets about 7000 out of his on his Heritage.

Hey johnnyp - just curious, have you put a tire gauge on your rear tire? If so, how many 32nds do you have left?

My UC's back OEM tire has a bit over 11k miles and it's now a fair weather tire. I'll get a new one in the next week or two.
