tire milage?

[dickiedeals]

Well Tire wear is the only negative I've found on the flat 6 bagger. Since changing from Harley dresser I've had no regrets and have big smiles . On the Harley I would go through 2 rear tires to one front.Usually 15000 to each rear The F6B wears about the same front and rear getting far less mileage than the Ultra Classic did. In defense of the F6B I have a tendency to ride it much more aggressively than I did the Harley due to the greater available power.(also because of my Harley riding buddies desire to stop eating Honda fumes)
Over all I love the bike but can't say I'm happy with tire wear.

After 11,200 miles on the original 'stones' my tires have half the tread of new ones! I covered the western 15 states and stayed off the interstate roads. Since I got the F6B for my
65th birthday I really enjoyed the many National Parks. They are free for us older riders! Badlands, Mt. Evans and Echo Lake, Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Monument Valley, Hoover Dam, Mohave Desert, Nixon and Reagan museums, Hiway one, Golden Gate bridge, Avenue of the Giants, Crater Lake, Columbia River Road, water falls, Yellowstone, Big Horns.
Never got rained on! Amazing. Friendly folks in all states! Col 3:17

I got 20K + out of my front and took off the rear at 15k to go Darkside !!! Yes this tire has 20K miles on it!!! No Chicken strip...

Now that's what I would call a ride about! Nice trip! How bout some pics of it though?

How do you guys get so many miles. I keep the tire pressure at 40 front / 42 rear. I have the FOBO TPMS and I get warnings when the tires are low.
Maybe I ride to hard??? I have a lot of highway miles because I ride 50 miles each way to work almost every day year round.


I got 9500 miles on the first tire / 9300 miles on the 2nd rear tire / I am at 270000 miles and I will need a new tire soon.
