07 Tires and 09 tires are not the same tire. 07 ultra with alot of 2up riding 8,500 is the best i got no burn outs but i do let the throttle roll. front tire now has 19,000 and it will be replaced with the next rear tire. going with the elite 3 next round
Used to get 6K out of the 402 on the Road King, but then I live in the mountains. Got 7K on the EGC right now and the rear is a little flatter that new, but still has plenty of tread.
I had 16,000 on my original tires on my '08 EGC. I only changed because I was changing to chrome wheels and went ahead and installed Elite 3s on the front and rear with the wheel change. Both had plenty tread left for several thousand miles more.
Had my 09 Ultra in the shop today, had the front tire replaced for free due to the service bulletin and poor wear. I have 7800 miles on the bike and the dealer said the rear tire is at a 2 which would just pass inspection. I think it is the crappy stock tire but you guys seem to be getting double the mileage that I am!!! I'll be replacing the rear in about 1000 miles or less, was going to do it today but the dealer only had the standard Dunlop and I'd like to try something different... any suggestions?
