I am as we speak changing out the oem front tire for a new Metz. I have 22k on the front, probably could get another two months out of it, but I dont wait for problems.

 

As above...

....check the tire's DOT manufacturing date code.

 

I run dunlops on my Heritage classic. I switched back to dunlops on this bike after trying another brand. On my Wideglide I run mets. I do not like the mets and this is the second set. My next try on the Wideglide will be avons. If I like them and they hold up well I might switch the Heritage to them. Tire threads can get tedious like oil threads. Everyone has their favorites.QUOTE=BlueNoser;8097045]I have HD Dunlops I know it is usually 2-1 or 3-1 for front tires compared to back tires.
I just think I should be looking at a tire that looks completely worn out. A couple buddies have looked at it and they said 'no way" is there that many miles on it.
I will measure tread depth tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

 

10K on the rear,, 20k on the front,, average life..

 

That is decent mileage for the front.I would replace it.

The fronts on my old '06 Road Glide would last 30000 miles.

 

I need to replace my rear, got 12K out of it. Going back to the wide whitewalls

 

I changed out my original front tire at 59,000 miles. It had 4/32 thread with even wear. I get right at 20,000 on my rears. Keep them inflated properly and balanced and you can really extend your tire life. (Also helps to ride like an old lady)
