It's pushing 20k miles since I put new 402's on my 95 Heritage.. My front tire is "still " in excellent shape. Rear tire needed replaced just a couple thousand miles ago. Anyone else get this good of mileage? Half my riding is 2-up and I would say that I definately don't beat on it....but I don't ride like an ole geezer either.

 

....just saw vheflin reply, same as my experience with tbe Dunlops

I've been seeing a lot of Shinko's 777 Cruiser tires and the 230 tour masters on all different bikes . And because of the upward spiral of tire prices. Shinko's are probably my next tire !
Unless someone puts out a tire with 13/32 tread depth on it.

 

I've never even approached numbers like that. I'm happy with 1500 miles on most bikes and thrilled beyond belief if I see 5000 miles.

 

Continental makes a tire with slick center; that will greatly extend tire life...not the best for rain or heavily grooved cement roads though.

 

That and hot weather/roads are tire killers too.

 

If you want mileage, then CAR TIRE as previously mentioned. Here's an in-depth article on it, complete with 196 comments for your reading enjoyment.

Averaged between 10-12K on the Avon's I like but the shovels only a 600lbs bike, nothing like these land barges we ride today. My RK tips it at 825lbs .........

 

Sheesh, I used to get 8000 on a police Road King and I was always hammering the throttle.
