    I changed my rear last fall......got 12,000+ out of it and just changed my front.....at 13,869......I've consistently ran 41 PSI front and rear.......I could have gotten another 1,000 out of the front, but I'm leaving on a 4000+ mile trip and I didn't want to have tire issues. Others have gotten less and others have gotten more!

    Hope that helps

    Smile Thanks for the update

    I appreciate your advice! I am heading out on a 7,500 mile trip through 16 states and wanted to make the trip without changing tires.

    Nice! I swapped mine at 18k but probably could have went 20k. Are we getting special tires in AZ? Whatever it is I like it.

    What are ya'll doing to get 20k miles? You must have figured a way to rotate them Is there a consensus on what the MacDaddy replacement is?

    I can't say I'm doing anything special. I check air pressure about once a week and ride.

    I got 18k on the original Stones and I'm on pace to get at least 18k on the E-3's.

    Did you really get 20,768 miles on your rear tire?

    I am at just over 20,000 miles and I only got 9500 miles on my first 2 back tires. I got 19,000 on my front.
    I don't know what I am doing wrong I have the FOBO TPMS and keep the rear at 42psi and the front at 40psi.
    Both rear tires were showing through to the belts at 9500 miles.

    Maybe riding so fast is the problem / I average 75mph - 90mph on the highway and run fairly hard in the twisties.
