I've got just under 8000 on my stock Dunlops and both still look to be inpretty shape.
I use Dunlops on the my Ultra and got just a hair over 13k on the rear before I replaced them for the Love Ride last year. Front tire still looks good, but I'll be replacing this summer. I'm one that really watch tire pressure etc... On the other side of the coin, my wife's Ultra has only 7k on her bike and the rear looks like it might make another 2k . . . maybe. We got the bike used and not sure how the last owner rode. I'll be replace very soon just to make me warm and fuzzy. After all, my wife is on those two tires. Better safe than sorry. :s

Two things working to your advantage on the Sporty, lighter weight and sorties in the twisties wear the edges, which balances the straight up wear of touring, so mileage is strictly a matter of your agressive/sporting side verses you street/touring riding style, which in most cases is balanced so 10K to 15K is very reasonable to expect.
Rob or SledDog with their...eh...forward bent riding "Pro"-Active controlled high speed test facility styles...may drop that figure by half and how should I say, " --will replace their tires long before the nubbins on near the sideswalls wear out " or the compound suffer from UV/Ozone attacking or cracking the sidewalls...

I'm coming up on 13K mi. on my 08 Lowrider and the rear tire looks like I will probably be able to safely make 15K before replacing - front probably 20K. I will go with the stock tire again as I have had no issues with it.
