WOW, I can't get 6000 on my rears...

I can get a ton of mileage from my rear as far as tread life goes, but mine, like everyone elses I'm sure, cups like crazy after only a couple thousand  >:(

You guys that put different brands on the front- are these radials? If so, the rear factory Dunlop is bias ply, so I thought you aren't supposed to mix and match?

Also are these front tires the same load rating?
The American Elites have the correct load rating.

It's an old wive's tale about mixing tires.  I've been running a BP/radial combination on my Night Train for years without issue.

Really not a big deal.  Hell, I mixed BP/radial and brands on my GS/A.  Trust me, you'll never notice it.
