    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
    Ride Safe but Often!!

    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.
