Timely post, as I will be replacing my 402's with the E3's when I return from Arizona vacation in two weeks. Currently 10,000 on 402's with 4/32" tread in front, 5/32" rear. This pair of 402's, the front had less tread than the rear when new. Going to 90 degree KurveyGirl valve stems as well.

On my '05 FLTR, I got about 8k on the OEM D-402, and similar amount using Metzlers. I've gotten 12-14k on the past 3 Elite-3 rea tires. so I'm quite happy.
Weather and road conditions will play havoc with tire wear, as will riding style. I'm heavy on gearin' & steering... lots of engine braking, and NC, is a hot place in the summer, and our roads are rough as coarse sandpaper.
As with any tire...keep an eye on air pressure, and they'll last longer

The specs on the MU90 b 16 say 5.57 but my unmounted tire is five inches. They probably take into account for heat expansion because i cannot see it grow a little over 1/2 inch just by putting it on the rim.Then again 800 pounds of weight? I'm at 14 k on the stock 402.
