D402 tire wear
Just got back from Sturgis and finally needed new tires. Changed both with 3/32" remaining. My rear lasted 15,000 miles and my front was the original with 25,000 miles. I'm pretty religious about keeping the tire pressure at 36F/40R. Last summer I changed the rear at 10,000 and it probably had 2,000 remaining. Pretty decent mileage.

I've got 12000 on mine now, and it has well above 3/32" remaining. I ride a balance of very curvy road and interstate, but I think the real secret is just being easy on the throttle....no secret there.

Just had my 10k service and was told that both tires have lots of life yet. Probably get some E-3s this winter. I hear they stop the fifth gear whine and seal any oil leaks.

Got 17,905 miles out the rear 402, the front looked good for another 2~3K miles but got a good deal and put on new E3s today. MT90B-16 front and 160/80-16 rear (mighty close to the belt cover) probably remove the cover or "mod" it.
