bought new heritage in june 08 only 7400 miles on it.My question is how many miles should I get on my rear tires under normal conditions?

 

20-30,000 ive seen maybe more

 

Did not get 10k from my 06 stock rear. Dunlop

 

yeah right...what are you riding? a scooter? there is NO way a torquey harley can get more than 10,000 miles on a rear tire safely. NO WAY

 

I replaced the rear stock dunlop at 13.5k, still had a little wear left but I was going to the 105th and didn't want to have any problems. My buddy has over 15k on his Night Train but the rubber has completely worn through in places. My front tire is still in good shape, it should last until I change the rear again.

 

any suggetions for non stock replacement rear tire with a little longer life ?

 

looks like i'll be buying one at the end of this season. i got 5200 miles on her right now and can see the outline of a "flattened" area on the rear. sucks. but, on the flipside, it does give me a reason to invest in chrome rims!!

 

Huey 408, mabee at 5-10MPH, I am on my 4th rear at 22000 miles. Just installed my new rear 2600 miles ago, went with a Shinko 200/50/17 Radial in hopes of better wear, if not at least it handles better than the OEM DUNFLOP.

 

my dads put over 25000 miles w/ oe tire

 

I got about 12,000 on my first rear tire. The front is now at about 17,000 and will be replaced before next season, maybe even this summer.
30,000 on a rear? I dont think so.
