steelcowboy,
Well,......... I have never smoked my tires. And I actually never even spun a tire on my bike. I do drive right around the posted limits,... but I am somewhat more aggressive in the corners and twisties. Im 6-02, and 215lbs and I dont think its the weight either since I rarely ride two up. I just feel that the OEM Dunlops on the Dynas are softer than most of the other OEM Harley tires. I also bought my bike in May and I have rode my bike in the hot East Texas heat alot which will also increase the wear as well. So,... I would have to think that you would definately be in the minority of riders who will see no noticeable wear on their tires after 5000 miles. As a matter of fact,... I find it pretty shocking that your rear tire has 5500 miles on it and still looks like new, but stranger things have happened. So,... feel lucky. From what I have read on this forum,.. the "average" rear tire lifespan is gonna be in the 6000 mile range.
