Dunlops I have Bridgestones. About 5500 and they ain't that bad. A lot depends on your riding style. I almost never ride 2 up or really loaded down and I'm not a real twistys rider.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #11219 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:need new tires at 7200 miles 5 Years, 7 Months ago   dozer wrote: hey: musky, doc, and everybody else: first of all hello its been a while. i cant believe i need a front and back tire already at 7200 miles. i have 1/32 on the rear, and 2/32 on the front tire left. has anybody else had this problem with the stock dunlops? 1st,chech your right wrist and forarm is it alot bigger than your left. I also have bridgestones and over 8000 miles,ride 2-up all the time and still look realy good.So if it`s a no on the 1st question then it must be the Dunlops   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11226 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:need new tires at 7200 miles 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Sounds low. I have just a bit more on my rear ME880 but its softer and I do take off fast. My front ME880 looks almost like new.

I think you should get new tires even if they aren't worn out. But that's just me. I'm real tire consious. It's a pretty major part between me and all sorts of pain.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #11373 MY-STAR-1 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 87 Re:need new tires at 7200 miles 5 Years, 6 Months ago   PURCHASED MY 2005 R* ,NEW , in march of this year i have put 8600 miles on her.Tires are stil damn near new and i use all of the tire as i constantly scrape the floorboards, there is just a slight flat spot down the middle of the rearand thats it.

The front looks a brand new. I guess that doing burnouts in the school parking lot might have something to do with the extra wear on the back but who knows for sure.   Logged     4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus Patriot Guard Rider Vivat Jesus!
