i got 36,000 miles out of my front tire. it still had plenty of tread on it, but i started to get a wobble, so i decided to put a new tire, tube, baLance and trued. the dealer said they never seen a tire with that kind of miles on it that looked that good.

 

wow...on my 06 FLSTNI, i got 20k on my front and 15k on the rear, yes the front wobbled when i let go of the handlebar, that's when i said, time to go...36k...that's unheard of...

 

Man, I've never heard of that kind of mileage on a tire, front or rear. I'll be lucky to get 20k out of mine I think at this point.

Did you do anything different?

 

i keep the tire pressure at 36 in the front and 40 in the rear. i get about 16,000 miles on my rear tire.

 

I got 35k on my first front...Have about 20k now on my EIII looks fairly new still...

 

I'm at 33K on my original front Dunlop tire and it still looks like it could got another 10k easy. No wobble either.

 

Yeah,, I just go 20k on the front even though it has more,, just do it every other rear..

It's f'n sweet to get that many miles out of a tire before it causes any problems. I have a new front tire coming. I got 15k on my tires and the front is cupped badly.
