#214240 Tater (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   HOw many miles are usual on the first set on the Midnight Star Silverado. I have the Bridgstones with 12,500 on the bike and they are not worn out. Front still looks good!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #214244 ghostskull (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I have 11,500 on my 2005. The back is getting a bit thin. Front still looks good. When it comes time to replace, what are other people replacing with and how do they ride? Anybody go with a wider profile on the back?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #214246 RoadStarRider07 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 141 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Back when I rode an XS850 I liked Dunlop 404's so I'm going to try them on my R* when it's time to replace the tires.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #214249 Knightman (User) West Virginia Senior Boarder Posts: 314 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I had 6800 miles on the rear bridgestone ......worn slick........front tire may make it to 8500 to 9000 ... but I found out they were under the recomended pressure...

Tires wear depending on how aggressive the rider is... this goes in a couple of different wear types... mileage and wear patterns... I had a guy stop in the dealership yesterday that had 14000 miles on the OEM brickstones... I was amazed, but he also drives slower and not aggressive at all... food for thought...   Logged     Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #214292 Radar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I got 6500 on the front and 8,000 on the rear. Both were slick when I replaced them. Put Dunlop Elite III on. Now have 12,000 miles on the bike and both tires look like I put them on three to six months ago. Not new, but plenty of tread. Good luck in choosing.   Logged     '06 R* Silverado Midnight.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #214295 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   8k on the back before replacement, 10k on the front and still riding with it and it's starting to cup some.

I like the Metzlers, but they're a little more expensive.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #214297 dveara (User) 2005 RoadStar Silverado Fresh Boarder Posts: 69 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Just replaced the rear at 16,000 mi. The fron still looks good. I went with the OEM Bridgestone. djv   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #214314 coma44 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 190 Re:OEM Brigstone milage 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I got about 9500 out of the rear, switched to Metzler 880's front and rear at that time. Now have about 8200 more on the Metzlers and they still look good, expect about 12 to 14k out of the rear by looking at it now.   Logged     See you on the road!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
