Front tires...
I have 28k on the original front tires of my 2010 RT, running 22psi... and they still look "new".

I had 43243 miles on my 2012 OEM tires when I traded the RT LTD in, and my guess is that they had another 5000 in them. These tires can perform well if you bike is well aligned and your tires inflated well above BRP recommendations. I am not at all a gentle rider so this is great wear.

tires
I had 40,000 on the oem front tires on my 08 GS. These seemed to be quite round and well aligned. On the other hand, on my NEW 2012 RTs I got last May, I had to put a set of Cooper CS3 tires on, I do really like these, as the OEM tires very out of round = even had one replaced under warranty but still not good enough. OEM tires are fine IF lucky to get some round ones. Also==== ALIGN == ALIGN == ALIGN. One of the BEST things to do for your Spyder.

i was just wondering if i could get better miles from car tires...we have 31,000 on the oem front tires...how ever they are starting to cup and causing a vibration...we got 29,000 out of the rear and put kumho car tires on it...there was no uneven wear on the drive or front tires..will 4 plys give me better wear?? the only problem i have seen is unless i get oems from the dealer...most places will have to order such a unusual size since it still uses 165-65-14...i am still considering oem s from the dealer and he has them in stockk...

It's hard to argue against OEM front tires with that kind of mileage.
