Default rear tire on 2011 flhx

I had a couple of questions regarding my rear original tire on my streetglide. I was wondering what kind of mileage people are getting out of their rear tire and if anyone knows where else to buy them online rather than the dealer? I have read a few posts seaching the internet stating that JP Cycles and Jake Wilson sells them, I was unable to find the D407 on their sites. Are they still dealer exclusive?

Thanks.

I got over 10K on mine, and then picked up a nail...
I have gotten tires from Ronayers.com for years and have been satisfied every time.

I got 20K out of mine and still had 1/32 tread over the wear bar when I changed it. Mostly all highway riding.

May want to look at Michelin Commander II's. Just put them on my Limited and will probably never fool with Dunlop again. I think they ride better, handle better and are half the price.

Thanks for the info guys! I have about 7800 miles on mine so far and no real signs of wear, just planning ahead!

Jake Willson is the place to buy tires! Just bought Dunlap front and rear for my FLHTK from them and good ole UPS LOST THE REAR TIRE! Called Jake Wilson and told them. They asked me to send pictures and sent another rear tire OVERNIGHT, SATURDAY DELIVERY! Talk about great service! I'll keep talking this up and buy from them whenever I need anything!
