Running a Dunlop HD 150 80R/16 on the rear. Tell me I should get more than 12000 kms out of it. Stickler when it comes to pressures. Check before every ride. Solo running 36psi, pillion running 40 psi. Opinions anyone?

I be disappointed if 15000km was not achieved. Many different threads on here relating to tyre life brands,pressures, etc,etc.

It always surprises me when a used bike has 5 to 9k on the clock but not the standard back tyre

I only get about 12k out of my tyres ( 200 rear).

I have a skinny arse, (150) I have done 49.000 and am about 7000K's into my 3rd tire which is not 1/3 worn

I run 40 psi on the back and reckon that prolongs tyre life a bit

just got 12,845 ks out of one of those duel compound dunlops, probably could of got another couple of thousand out of it if there was more corners from Perth to Darwin and back

This thread is funny... Yas all worried about longitivity... Hence the reason yas run dunlops , all they good for.

Obviously none of yas ride hard , which is cool cause if yas did yas would be changing the fuggers after first ride.

Avons or Pirellis only for me mate. I hear the metzlers are good but I had a bad experience with em few years back and haven't tried em again since

Run em on all my vechicles especially bikes and could not give a fuck about a couple of thousand ks difference wearing.When I'm on two wheels I got to have something I can trust in wet and dry.
