I'm coming up to my second rear tyre at 9k and my first front ... it depends on the surfaces you ride on ... and how you ride. Prob going for matching Bridgstones this time.

Thank you guys for your help! Metzlers get rave reviews (880's?) Dunlops we all know about (OK I guess) but I have not heard much of Bridgestone..matkiwi, what is it about the Bridgestones you like?
I'll keep an eye on mine, probably good to 8k.

Good for you HD7585................ and actually that is very scientific!! Has to do with friction, and will speak to you quite loudly, if your paying attentionThumbs up for common sense.

My Dunlops start yaking at me just about the same time the safety bar appears.

You have to be real careful with the Metzelers, because they don't have much to say until the cords are popping through the rubber (don't ask me how I know)

No, its called common sense, I live by it

When your bike starts sliding easily on wet roads or black top with only a small amount of sand or dirt on it. (when braking) You need new tires..................Dosn't matter what the tread looks like.
Now that's a scientific measurement there.
