Re: What milage out of your tyres
I've got 13,000 miles on my stock, Dunlop front tire and it's still good. Rear has around 10 or 11,000 and it still has plenty of life left. But then I ride like a granny on her way to church!

Re: What milage out of your tyres
I've got over 15,000 on the OEM Dunlops on my Street Glide, and the rear looks like it has at least a couple more thousand on it.
My wife's bike (not a Harley), does good to get 6,000 on the rear with Dunlops. Her bike would be comparable weight to the Wideglide.

Re: What milage out of your tyres
11,000 on the orgininal 407f on my 09 UC because of cupping. Replaced it with a 408f and now have 17,000 on that one and it still looks good. I got 19000 on the rear before changing.
