Freewheeler and Triglide Rear Tires

[Sunman]

What mileage are you FW and Tri riders getting out of the OEM rear tires? I have just over 30,000 miles on my rear tires and they look like they can easily go another 5,000 miles. Just curious as to what mileage others have gotten out of their OEM tires.

Thanks,

Sunman

I had over 47K on my 2011 Tri-Glide rears when i traded it in for a 2017....And they still looked good.....

The car tires I had on my previous trike conversion looked almost new after eight years of wear. I now have the same type tires (coker) white walls on my 2016 freewheeler.

Thanks 2ndheart and Rhino2 for the replies! I may have to replace them due to age before they wear out!

I replaced mine this year due to age. Plenty of tread left, but they were developing sidewall cracks at 8 years old.

I only have like 18k on mine, but, they are 5 years old ... plan on replacing all three this winter, probably have like 20-25 by then depending on if I go to Kerrville or not ... just to be safe.

On my rear tires, I have 25.000 miles and they still look good, but they are from the year 2014.

on my trip to Scotland last month, I had some grip problems on wet roads, it‘s time to change.

I have over 38000 on the original rears on my 17 Tri Glide. Its only 2.5 years old and they still have plenty of tread.

The front is a different issue I went through the stock dunlops twice at about 15000 each.

I now have a Avon Cobra on the front and it appears to be much better so far, only have ~ 8000 on it so far.

My SM at dealer told me 60-70k. I took them off at 38k & put them on the trailer,& installed Goodyear Comfortred for a better ride. Those original tires prob. would go 60-70k. I just wanted a better ride & realized the trailer tires were over 10 yrs old. SO now it has fresher tires. Total for 2 new Goodyears installed with beads for balance & tires from trike installed on trailer rims, (I took rims in) was a little over $300.
