11600 on front and rear tires at replacement!
Both still had another 2k in tread but the front was cupped!

Terrie has 10k on her 09 Street Glide and the back is not down to the wear bar yet.  Looks to be about 2k left but I don't play tires or brakes to the edge.....I play them to the safe side.

I got 10,800 out of the rear, ride 2 up 90% of the time. Replaced the front at the same time because of cupping. Was not impressed with the Dunlops, went with the Metzler 880''s

I've got 4700 on my original D407's and the front is getting pretty bad. The tire is very noticeably cupped and, consequently, make a lot of noise in the corners.

I think I'm gonna switch to ME880's or Avons. Maybe radials.

I dunno why it's so f!@#-ing hard for Dunlop and Harley to get the tires right.

I only have 4200 on mine and no sign of cupping yet, but I'm running both at 40 psi

I got to about 7000 to 7500 on the front before I got a nail in the tire, but it was cupping badly and needed replaced anyway.  Rear I had about 11,500 and probably could have gotten another 1000 to 1500 out of it, but I was leaving on a trip and didn't want to take a chance on questionable treads if I hit any bad rain.  I should have waited...sunny skies for the entire trip.

When I was at the dealer, the tech and service manager both asked me how I got that many miles out of my rear, since they have been replacing them from 5000 to 7000 mile range.  I assume that the majority of my mileage coming from long trips contributed to getting more miles out of the rear tread.  I assume that with all local riding and lots of stopping and starting, the mileage may drop off significantly, to what they have been experiencing.
