About how many miles can I expect out of the Dunlops that came on my 07 Sporty? I am an easy rider. I don't abuse my scooter!

Treadwear rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That link will explain treadwear rating numbers,, which is what you as a rider need be concerned with, however extreemly few seem to be aware even exhist. A higher treadwear number can mean a longer wearing tire, but it's also harder,, so if you are in a wetter climate, or daily ride twisties,, this may not be the best tire for you. Also a low treadwear number usually is a softer tire, which will grip better on the curves, usually stop faster, but will wear faster. You need a tire that fits "most" of your normal riding conditions for your area. So when tire time rolls around, look at the treadwear number on the sidewall, research a little an make a smart decision based on your particular needs.Tread pattern, that's another story. :bigsmiley17:
