Have a bit over 15000 on my rear 402 and she still has some life in it. I do more cruising than starting and stopping in traffic, I think that has a lot to do with mileage. That and proper inflation.

I got 16,000 out of my rear and could have gone more but I was getting ready for a trip so I changed both tires to E 3s.

08 FLHX and replaced my rear tire at 16K. almost all miles were solo, although a 6K trip with gear for 2 weeks in first 10K. many factors come into play, body weight ( I'm 170), type of roads (straight or curved), cement, blacktop or other. I've been on some roads that fealt like they'd eat up tires they were so ruff.

Are we talking the E3 bias ply or radial?

Average 8-9000 on rear...
I am very good at maintaining proper pressure, how i accelerate,etc,etc,
How the hell you guys get 15+ out of those tires I'll never know

Here is a slight high-jack thread question related.
I am guessing the the D402 weight rating vs, D3 is no big deal because I see alot of you already "switched".

13k and counting on original rear tire, looks like I will get at least 15k out of it.

Damn, I will have to get a set of those tires!

9k on the 402 rear and it needs to be changed. New E3 ($107 w/free ship at DK) sitting in garage waiting for one of those round tuits to get-r-done. Does not surprise me as i am an aggressive driver. Dealer wanted $300 for another crap 402. Not going to help his 401k so i'm just going to get off my lazy can and do it myself.
