Tire life on the dyna...
#22
The stock Dunflops are a hard compond so last forever...the downside to this greatly increased wear life is that they absolutley suck when it comes to grip.
Your rideing style is the main influencer of tyre life...a mild riding style puts less friction into the tyres and they last longer; where my aggressive style means that i will always get between 1/2 to 3/4 of the life of a mild rider. Its a price I am willing to accept as I enjoy my riding style too much.
Its always going to be a tradeoff between long life and grip...its as simple as that.

Thanks guys! It's good to see all of the things that affect the tire life and hear about a few different pros and cons of some tire brands and models too.
Since I moved from SoCal, my riding style has changed quite a bit since there aren't many twisties in FL and the drivers don't know what a gas pedal is when the light turns green. Man does that drive me nuts!
I am glad to see that most of your numbers are a lot higher than what I was reading in the other models threads too.
