Default Question about '08-'09-'10 touring tires

Since Harley has changed tires sizes on the later model Harley touring bikes, is everyone get about the same mileage out of the tires as they did before the size change? Don't know that there would be any different but I wanted ask anyhow. They only changed the width of the rear tire right?

Also, what brand are you changing or have changed to if not an OEM tire?

Default Don't know

I have a 1998 Honda Valkyrie Tourer. Don't go hating. The stock rear tire size is 180/70/16. I tried a 200/60/16. A little wider. The milage was not any better than the stock tire size. Just my experience.
