I have a 2015 RTL with OEM Kendra 225/50R rear tire. I am at 7000 miles. How many more miles can I expect on this before I will need to replace it?

Total of 9,000 to 11,000 average

I would say depends on the current state of the tire, correct pressure , and your riding habits. Keep a close eye on the wear marks across the tire, that is a definite indicator, I think I got about 15 k on mine but had lots of fun, and had a puncture which the RIDE ON SEALED, but went down the Oregon coast and changed it out for safety purposes. Hope that helps.

Most tires come with 10/32...8/32 to the wear bar. So if you measure to the wear bar now you can get an idea. To many variables to throw out numbers. But so you know I got 19,000 on my RS...:thumbup:

I got 17,000 on mine. I use Ride-On and keep a close eye on the air pressure, so that helped me stretch a few extra miles out of it.

The answer is based on how aggressive you drive. My personal experience--usually about 10 to 13K miles. When others were getting 4K on the new tread compound, I got 8.9K. The second tire on my 2014 is up to 12.6K but is now toast. Getting replaced next week.

No guarantees though. Warning, warning, warning--your results may be different. :roflblack::roflblack:
