28,242 miles on Dunlop rear tire
I rode my bike on Jan 1st and then went under the knife and didn't ride again until 28 April. Before I took that April ride, I checked my tire pressure and the front had 34 lbs so I topped it off at 36 lbs.
My rear tire only had 13.5 lbs, which surprised me, but since I was going to get a new tire before the riding season started, I just filled it up to 40 lbs. I rode 125 miles that day, and stopped at the dealer to make an appt to have the rear tire changed. Well today was appointment day, so I thought it best to check my tire pressure again, and it was down 5 lbs in only a week.
I know, we senior citizens sometimes have delayed synapse from the eye to the brain, but it finally occurred to me that I might have a nail in my tire. I put it up on my jack and checked for a nail, and damn if I didn't fine a tiny little nail, right in the middle of my tire.
When I checked my maintenance records, that rear Dunlop tire had 28,242 miles on that tire,. I just find that amazing.

That is amazing, I also have one that I threw into my basement, and has over 12 years and the tread still looks the same as the day it was put there. Both amazing.
