Default High Mileage tires

I have to say Im really happy getting 17300 out of the stock tires on my 2010 flhx. I never do burnouts but ride very agressive in the corners and accell hard from stops. Every other tire I have used was shot at 6000-7000 miles.
I am putting the same dunlops back on. The local dealer had a special for 363.01 installed.

I have averages 27k out og the D402 tire on my 08 roadglide. I get about 11 month use out of them. Just put my 3rd rear tire on. I did loose one each front and rear due to punctures. But milage wise they are tops in my book.
My last 2 tire changes i took wheels of bike and took them in.$135 M&B front and $180Rear. The guys at Latus motors fixed my up on mounting and balance in 45 min. Beats leaving the bike in the shop for 3 days. My bike crys if it isnt riden daily

My 09 Classic got 15,000 out of the first rear and I am at 22,000 and the front has got another 3,000 to 5,000 left. I will stick with the factory tires.

Very satisfied with stock Dunlops on my '08.

Maintain tire pressure and no burn outs....

+1... I got about the same mileage as You with the stock dunlop's. (08UC) I will keep running the Dunlop's, can't see getting only 6 or 7K of other Tires.
