Default Fat Bob Stock Tires...how many miles did you get?

I tried doing a search on this, but it is bringing up completely irrelevant results.

I noticed today that my back tire is looking like it's about 3/4 gone at only 4200 miles.
I check my pressure frequently and don't do burnouts.
How many miles did you get out of your rear tire?

Did you replace with the same tire or go with something else?

8 to 11 sometime 12 grand on rear 21 grand on front. Im on my 2nd front and 4th rear at 3200 miles, last tire I changed the rear to a 200 metzler dont know the miliage yet. I was happy with the dunlops just wanted bigger and better handling, the dunlop handles well the met is better

The rear on my DYNA was slick at about 10k...I ride fairly aggressively at times but never did burnouts etc...front was still very good but making a loud hum when hitting a hard turn.... replaced both with Metzelers...looking like the Metz isnt going to wear any better if as well...handles much better and got rid of the hum.....:>)

8K miles is probably a bit short on life. Is you rear wheel properly aligned?

Everything seems true, but there is a bit of a buzz/hum that seemed to develop a while back.
I can only hear it because I still am running stock pipes though. Hard to tell if it's coming from the back tire or both tires.

Got 13000 out of the rear and made it to 20000 for the front. I'm very happy with the tread wear on the Fat Bob Dunlops. I will however move to the 200 and 150 in the Metzlers in the future just out of curiosity.
