Default I have one for u
I haven't posted in a while my puter crashed and it took a long time to replace. How many of you got 29000 miles on your original dunlop front tire. I just changed my front tire and it still looks good but it's 3 years old and my trust has run out. Did I do well or is this just so-so?

I just changed both tires and my front was original with 33,500 miles on it. Got 18k on my second back tire. These are Dunlop 402's.

My general rule-of-thumb has been a new front every other time I get a new rear.

I ride hard and fast, changed mine at 25K and I'm on my 3rd rear. Just went to the D 3's so we'll see how long they last.

I usually get 20,000+ miles out of a front. I tend to change tires before they are due. Better safe than sorry.
