Getting around 13k on my rear as well.

[FlaHeatWave]

The original tire on the '09 started cupping at <6k, replaced by my dealer, replacement started cupping with about 8k on it...

Pressure always set on 40 all weights in place

Anybody else have a problem with cupping???

The front was recalled when the bike had about 5k on it, the front has about 13k on it now and is almost worn out !!
At least the front is wearing evenly

I'm on my third rear tire at the moment.  Second was replaced a little early as I had a 4500 mile ride planned and wanted to be safe for it.

No cupping at all on any of the tires.  Set to 40PSI, and using Dyna Beads to balance.

Also, on my second front tire.  I bumped up to a 19" Agitator from the stock 18" on my '10 FLHXSE.

So far, with the 19" wheel/tire, I've got over 20K on the front tire, and it still have quite a bit of tread left.

The dealer replaced your tire with 6,000 miles on it because it was cupped? WOW!! What dealer is this? I think I want to start going there for my warranty work!

I have 13,000 on the rear tire of my 13 CVO ultra and it has been cupped for about half of those miles. My brother in law runs the Dunlop elite 3 on his Goldwing and he has the same problem, cupping after about 7,000 miles.

I replaced the rear at 19,500 miles and am getting close to putting a new front tire on at 27,000 miles (The gauge is still in the green, just barely!) I keep 40lb in the front and 36 in the rear, ride solo, and no burnouts! My service guy brags to others about how well my tires wear.

I only got 11,000 miles off the front and the rear

Heritage Harley in Fort Walton Beach Florida.
None of The tires on my other 2 CVOs (Or any of my other vehicles for that matter)have ever cupped or had any other issues.
When did cupping or abnormal wear patterns become acceptable on high-end vehicles (Or any other vehicles for that matter)

measured mine today...5500 miles and about 4/32 front and rear...that sucks!

[Mano]

I got 40 000 KM on my rear. A few burn outs  .

It stood up straight on it's own when they took it off. Front was OK but I changed them both before I went to Sturgis. I wish I could have waited. My buddy with a CVO convertible changed his tires in Rapid City H.D. and he paid 50% LESS than I did. Ish.

No more burn outs unless I am changing my tires in the U.S.

Just went over 82 000 KM. I am on my 3rd rear tire and 2nd front. I will need both tires replaced in the new year.

[johnchalker]

Just had a new rear tyre on mine 2010 got 16,000 miles out of the original one .

[Jswerve]

13,200 and counting on original rear tire. Plenty of tread left.

[ffltjeff]

10,500 miles and still tread left hoping for at least another 3,000

[hogasm]

Unfortunately for the rear the only tire that is properly load rated is the stock d407 tire form HD. I talked to a Dunlop rep at a dealer showcase Friday night and was told they hope to have the American elite in the 180/55-18 by the end of the year......Metzler, Pirelli, and Michelin did not have an answer for when or if they'd have it available.

Any update Jim

I just turned 16,000 miles and need to replace the rear. I like the tires and cant see changing i ride it fairly hard and at least half the miles are two up, actually I think they are the best tires I have ran, like metzlers but only got 7,000 out of the 880's

Only 11K on the front sucks, Judy! I remember we talked about this in another thread.

I replaced my rear tire at about 11K miles. I was kind of disappointed, but I don't ride like a little old man on the way to church!

The original front is still going strong with plenty of tread at 17.5K miles.

I run 40 PSI in both tires.
