 :nixweiss: What can I say... I ride the chit out of it and I'm still on the original back 24,400 and counting. (getting a little flat but no wear bars yet) The front I had replaced at 11k... I mostly ride 1 up... My BH is a fair weather bird :coolblue:

5700 miles on my '08 and not much more life in the rear tire. Don't know what 'hard' riding means but I like to get up and go. Hah.

I was going to have it replaced with the front, but the dealer told me there's a lot more life in it :nixweiss: then I asked at the 15K & 20K service and they told me it still looks fine 8)

Hummm..... well, I replaced my rear tire at 12,140 miles and it still not to the wear bar. But, being very wet here in the northwest, I changed it. The Front still looks great, so I'll wait until spring time to change it. These are Dunlop tires, not my favorite, but they work. I guess I'm cheap, around here the dealer will mount and balance the tire for free on the bike. So it's a matter of convenience for me.

That's great tire mileage, uglyjohn.  And a great deal on the labor also.  :2vrolijk_21: spyder
