    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.

    Re: 20,768...
    I keep my pressures at 38-40 psi front and rear.
    And I try to keep my acceleration and braking within reasonably accepted norms (but I don't baby her, either).

    Bobby, because the originals lasted so long, I did specify the AZ formulation from Wing Stuff when I ordered my replacements.

    Only got 8k on the back. Could have gotten more but I neglected the tire pressure. Probably too low cause my tread cupped and was hummin real bad when in a twisty. Changed the front at 9k cause it was at the wear bars. I ride 2up a lot but wife only weighs 115lbs. I have to admit though I am pretty heavy on the throttle. Out of 1rst gear by 3k. 4k and up the whole way to 5th.
