I run the E3 bias ply. Not the radials.

Interesting... I went to my dealer during their tire sell and got a new front and back. When I got home, I had a cut on my front tire as well. Thought it could have been from a box cutter when they cut plastic or something off of them, but they had no idea. Oh well, they gave me a new tire and I was on my way.

10.8K on my front and rear. I'll definitely be changing the rear out in a few months, but the front is probably good another 5k. I'm on the OEM Dunlops that came with my '09 FXSTC

I end up with a new rear tire once a year and front every other years. I average around 15k a year.
