From all Ive seen the 200 rear tire that some of the Softails have average 4-7k miles..
its bout the same on other brands. so dont think a Metz or Avon is much better..
their not a touring type compound and do wear out faster..

The 150 on our Heritage is bout the same as others ,,bout 10k per rear and 20k on front.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing, taking care to keep proper amount of air. While no one can tell you exactly how many miles you will get from the tire, this is the single most important thing to getting the most from your tires.
