I know there are several threads about tires. (I just have a few questions after reading all the propaganda ha ha)
Motorcycle tire
Is there a consensus about which tire is best if you don't want to go dark side (car tire)?
(I have read that the Bridgestone Exedra tires were developed along with Honda specifically for the Goldwing.)
How many miles should I get on the OEM stock tires?
I have the FOBO TPMS and always keep the tires inflated to 41lbs cold before riding. I have 9400 miles and the belt is showing through. I thought I saw that some of you guys got 20,000 miles on the original tires??? I must ride harder than most people / on my HD Fatboy I was lucky if I could get 5500 miles before the belts showed.
Darkside tire
If I do go dark side / what tire is the best?
Are there any downsides to the dark side?
How many miles can I expect to get?
Is this just a way to get more miles or are there really other benefits? I do not want to risk my safety to save money. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough. (I need all the advantages I can get)
I have 9400 miles and the belt is showing through rear tire.

I think I can still use this tire????
On my Harley I would go through 2 back tires to one front tire / is it the same on the F6B?

This tire is shot and unsafe / I think I better ride home very slow and strait tonight (45 miles to my house)
