How many miles on 180/55/18 Dunlop tires
« on: July 08, 2013, 06:14:10 AM »

D407 I got 14,500 on the first one and 17,000 on # 2, I might have changed the first one be four a trip a little early, the new one was smooth when I noticed it after a dragon trip in the rain looks like we are stuck with dunlop tires for that size and speed raiting.
Thanks

Hey Phil,

I was able to get about the same mileage (18K) on my rear tire as you.

Hope all is well,

Ride On,

YB

On my 09 CVO Road Glide I was able to get 21K out of the first rear and 19K out of the second rear.

I was disappointed to only get 17K out of the rear on my 12 Skunk.

I got 18K out of the first one, and it looks like I'll get 18k from my 2nd aswell. Looking Good for having 16K miles miles on it.

I must ride hard compared to all you, I only got 10k on both sets of my Dunlap's, and I hated how they road. I changed to the Michelin Commander II's, they were looking great at 5k, before the bike got totaled, they handed much better, and appeared they were going to last longer than the 10k, but now I have to start over.

If you are getting more than 15k out of a Dunlop, what pressures are you running in them?

My stock Dunlop tires make more noise than I expected when cornering at higher speeds (>50).

Changed mine out at 17,500 and could have squeezed a few more out of it but with the trip that was upcoming I wasn't going to risk it. Just dropped the bike off tonight for it's 20k service and we checked the front tire. I prolly have 2k left on it. Mine are a tad taller at 180/65/18.

I have 8500 miles on my 13.
The back shows a little wear and the front has plenty.
I'm going to Vancouver and back in late August and was thinking ill replace the back before I leave.
After reading this thread, I may reconsider!
Probably be around 9000 by the time I leave, my FXDWG is my daily rider.

Turned 18k on the rear last week and have new meats being put on it now. I could have coaxed anoth thousand or so out of her but leaving on a trip Friday and didn't want to push it.

Rear I got 10,000 miles and front is ready now for replacement at 16,000 miles. I hate to mix brands, but thinking about going to Commanders this time in the front and then catching up end of summer on the rear. I have been happy with the Dunlops, but I am seeing more wear miles on my brothers Michelons.
