Reading posts on here I discovered this was about average, tho I should have gotten around 13,000. I was getting ready to go to Sturgis and didn't want to go on that tire. That was in 2015. I went to my local car tire store here in rural central Utah and asked him for his best tire in the size I needed. He gave me a Motorcraft tire. I brought him the wheel minus the center hub, he mounted the tire. BTW that tire was warranted for 80,000 miles. Well. it lasted from 10500, to 44,808. That was Saturday when I put on a new Pirelli,34,000+. I am happy with that. I hope the Pirelli does as well. The Motorcraft handled well and felt more stable in the turns then the Kenda. The Kenda always felt mushy in hard cornering. I left the fronts OEM until they wore out at about at about 25,000. I thought they were fine until I replaced them with Car tires. I discovered that I could go into the corners deeper and come out harder without the front end feeling like it was going to wash out. I did not realize how weak the front tires were. I don't know that these tires will last any longer then the OEMs but they are a real improvement. For me, I would (and did) run the OEMs until they wore out. Then I would go to a quality car tire. Much less money, much better performance, and better mileage, and better, IMHO, ride.
P.S. your front wheels are mounted on the Spyder just like a car only with three lug nuts instead of 5, so you can take your Spyder to the tire shop for front wheel removal. The rear you should remove that on your own. There are videos on You Tube on how to do it.
