6K on the rear and I replace the front with every second rear tire.

 

Nightster – about 10,000 front and rear….front had many more mile left, but I wanted to match the set.

Street Bob – about 10,000 for the stock rear…..and around 19,000 for the stock front.

Street Bob – Metzler 880 rear is about to retire at around 12,000 this week.

 

As usual we get going on these post and not really knowing what we are comparing since (Harley) Dunlop, Metzler, Avon, Michelin,ect... have numerous grades of each. My 16k is on a performance Dunlop and I plan on dropping back to the standard. How do you tell when its really worn out, just by the connectors in the bottom of tread? I know at 16K I have a big enough flat that in turns I can fill it go across it I think? Shame there's not a camber adjustment on a Harley. There's two more lifes in my rear tire. Also what's strange is the dealer put this performance tire on the back and there is not a matching number one for the front on a Deuce.

 

My SB has 5500 mi on the stock dunlops, and the rear is showing the cords in a couple places. Front looks new. I have to admit I holeshot and clutch pretty heavy. Im also around 220 with my gear on.

 

That's what eats mine up....6k-8k on the rears.

 

I don't think I've ever kept a mobike long enough to find out...

'till now...

the rear is completely bald ..

does that meet you definition for "need" to be replaced because you don't "need" tread except for in the rain.. so I guess I really still don't "need" them.

So, I have no idea !

 

You should get at least 10k out of the factory rears and a little more on the front. It really does depend on the type of rider you are and the conditions you ride in.I used to by new tires every year for my 68 Camaro. I didn't put a lot of miles on her but for some reason they would wear out pretty quick.

 

BEST YEAR CAMARO EVER !!!!

You still have it ?

 

I got 5700 out of my stock rear. I replaced it with a 200 one compond harder hoping to get more then 5700 this time but I ride pretty hard.

 

You need tread on the tire especially in the rain...just get caught out one time with a bald tire and a twisty road.
