    When it's time for new rubber

    OEM tires are usually more expensive and don't last as long as a good aftermarket. I sure wish I could get 13,000 miles out of a back tire on my sport bike.

    When it's time for new rubber

    If you do a search on tires, there are many discussions on the forum on tires. I don't own a cruiser, so, I really cannot recommend one myself. Maybe someone will be along shortly that can help more. But do try the search also.

    That's not too bad in my opinion. On my O7 C50T I only got 7500 on the rear.
    That's also what I got on my 08 C109RT till I went DS.:whistle:

    It's not hard to tell from the look of that tire that 98% of your riding is 2 up. You have very little wear on the sides of your tire at all. My advice to you would be to either go to the DS or leave the mrs home a little more and get into some fun cornering. Make no mistake about it, this bike handles really well cornering at speed. I've worn the drag nuts completely on my floorboards. I would like to add that the owner of the insurance company I deal with told me that unless it specifically states in your insurance contract that you cannot put a car tire on your bike that you would still be covered.

    Cheers!

    I get into as much fun cornering without the Mrs as I do with her.
    There are only so many twisties unfortunately.
