Just curious what's the highest or average mileage everybody is getting on their rear tires. Mines got 8400 miles and the guys at the local H-D service dept. say i still have 40%. thanks in advance.

 

Greetings,

You're doing good then...Mine usually last around 8000 miles. Don't know why...And it was like that on the Night Train and Softail Standard I had before the Rocker C.

 

Dunno but I have had less on the FB!!!

 

Depends a lot on riding style and road conditions!!

 

The Road King got almost 10,00 on the rear and 20,00 on the front. Now that I have steped up, so to speak, to the Ultra, I am getting about 7,000 to 8,000 on the rear, that is a lot of two up riding though.

 

As I always say, keeping proper tire pressure is one the biggest factors in how long your tires last along with riding style and road conditions. I run mine high as they last longer that way and I am not pushing them anywhere near the limits like I did when I rode sport bikes.

 

I've got 18,000 on my FXDC rear and it is still just within service limits. I don't ride hard, but I can't believe it has lasted this long. Not much more left in it though.

 

It that the orginal tire?

 

I got 9.5k on 1st org.rear, could have gotten a little more but it was in for 10k in the spring last yeat and we get a lot of rain and I felt better having new rubber.
Now with 18K still have at least 3k or so left, so maybe 11 or 12k on 2nd rear dunlop.
I will replace both this time with the same org Dunlop's somewhere around 20-21k

 

When I was running OEM Dunflops, I got somewhere in the 12,000-12,500 range. My last 3 rear tires have been Avon Venom X's and I have got anywhere between 10,000-14,000. Don't ask why there is a 4000 difference cuz I don't know.
