I got 11K on my Metzler ME880 on the rear, front is still good at 12K.

 

I think that a lot of owners have different opinions as to when a tire is worn out.
Some change as soon as the wear bars are flush, with the rest of the thread, while others run the thread down a lot further.

07 Heritage. Replaced rear at 10k. The front still looks brand new.Running stock Dunlops.

 

If you get more than 6K then it is time for you to trade up for a rocking chair on the front porch of your new home in Flo-rida... because you ain't riddin fast enough grandpa!

 

Any suggestions over the stock Dunlops.

 

I have had the best luck on the Continental Milestone for the Harley and Road Attack on the Sportbike. Metzeler ME880 are very good too. Avon makes a great tire but their ability to give you mileage isn't that great due to their stick factor. Dunlops suck.

 

I am a aggressive rider,no burnouts or drag racing,but I ride fast most of the time.if I get 8-10k out of a tire then I'm happy,I run Metzler tires,they are made out of natural rubber so they are softer and stickier than Dunlops so wear faster!

 

I run Metzler ME880's. I'm on my 2nd front tire and my 4th rear (I think,maybe 5th,but pretty sure 4th) at 45K miles. Gonna need another back one soon.
