Miles on Tires
#22
That's either some crappy tire or you have grossly over inflated it and have been towing some loads.

I've changed at 10k on three Lops. 401's, 150-16 rear.
20k on front 402, Lop also. will change out again at 40k when I do the forth rear.
At that time I will look at the Elite 3's... like the tread pattern better for tar snakes.

Around 13k on the rear, changed out the front when I changed the second rear, that was at 23k. Probbly had another thousand or so but I didn't want to push my luck. All have been unlops.

I've waited for someone to ask this. My '09 Ultra got a new rear at just under 17,000 miles, and at 24,500 I'm still on the original front. I have never had bike tires last this long. I complained when I heard there were no options for these expensive tires, but I've since decided I should shut the hell up.

Hell, I didn't know how some of you guys were getting such astounding mileage, especially on rear tires. First, I figured you were all Canadians or Europeans, and were talking KILOMETERS, but when I checked some of your origins it was obvious you were referring to MILES. Quite a mystery until I remembered that these phenomenal mileages were achieved on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, renowned for being underpowered to the point of being unable to get out of their own way. Mystery solved!
