I've been swapping out at around 15k with significant rubber left. That said, one of the plusses in trading up a couple weeks ago was the tires, I had 17k on them and was ready for new ones., thereby saving me $7-800. Good logic eh?

 

I had to change my rear at 15991Km. It was bald as a baby's behind.
I currently have 23000km on my front and it should last until I need another rear tire.

I ride solo with some gear.
29000km seams like a heck of a lot of km for a stock Dunlop!

 

From my experience, that's about normal for the front but I've never had a rear go over 14K miles before I replace it. The thing that surprises me in your case is that the rear is wearing out before the front. I've never heard of that happening.

 

I have over 22,000 miles on my OEM Dunlops (14 Road King), and they still have tread left.

 

20K Miles on my stock OEM Dunlop's


Liked em so much replaced them with the same exact tires...


I've got 22K Miles out of the second set, going in Friday for new rubber


20K out of a set of tires, I'm pretty happy

 

Hi all. martin from Denmark Europe here.

Pickin´up a 2½ yr old thread by pithing in with my numbers.
I'm on a 2016 FLTRU that gets ridden like a raped monkey.. (Is there any treads for how many miles before having to change ground away floorboards ;-) )
We mostly ride two up.

Im at 17.500 miles now, and both the tires are getting closer to the wear-mark, and at the latest, I'm definately changing before this sommers vacation to southern europe.
Pretty damn good for a set of tires.

But are the American Elite as good or better?
