How are you guys getting this kind of mileage out of the stock tires? This is after 9700 miles.

Does the Elite 3 come in OEM size (180/60)?
By not putting the front wheel in a chock and smoking off the rear tire!!!

So nobody here likes Metzlers or Dunlops? Just wondering since Harleys run them a lot, though drive shafts and more hp may have their own needs.

I have ran the Elite 3 tires on my street glide. It was my tire of choice for that bike. I would get around 14,000 mile out of a set. They handled better than any other tire I've had on that bike. I have stuck with the Bridgestones for the F6b. Everyone seems to like them. They handle good enough, but I just wish they would last longer.
I have ran e3 and bridgestones and metzlers a bunch.. my favorites so far are the american elite by dunlop they are sticky and wearing well.
I agree, ran them on both of my GL1800 Gold Wings with a combined 120,000 miles. Great tire under all road and weather conditions with and w/o pulling my trailer two up. I averaged approx. 10K out of each set but I tended to replace a little early to be safe.
darn, I have 6k now and didn't realize I was past 50% of the life of the tire.. at least I know what to get now..

8000.miles I had high hopes for 10k or more.I guess my need for acceleration shows.
but my mpg's have been awesome!
I will be changing out most likely this weekend! Not worth a bad day over trying to get more miles out of it.
