Default Street Glide tire

Hello, looking for suggestions for tires on my ‘18 street glide! Just over 10k miles and going for the 10k service soon and not sure how many miles I’ve got left on my tires. I just want to start shopping around now.

Dunlop American Elites seem to be pretty popular around here.

You or the service department could measure tread depth.,

i would expect the rear to be due and the front to have additional life remaining

To follow up, I do not ride "hard" or very fast. I stick to ~ 5mph over speed limit depending on flow of traffic, might be a little faster. I live in a sum what rural area so getting anywhere is 15-25 miles at a time one way. Most of my miles since I purchased in November 2019 have been long distance miles from Central Florida to lower Alabama. I plan to do more of that over the course of the next few years. So I guess I am looking for high mileage tire for touring and some local riding.

Has anyone tried the Bridgestone Battlecruise H50? https://www.denniskirk.com/bridgesto...pfp545165.prdf
