RT rear tire life

[ARtraveler]

Rear Tire: I have consistently got 13K to 15 K on 4 of my :spyder2:'s. I now have purchased a 2014 and everyone is saying that 6000 miles seems to be the rear tire life. I have another 5000 miles to go to determine if that will be my situation.

Front Tires: I have got 20K to 23K on all sets of front tires so far.

A lot of the big and powerful motorcycles see 5K to 7K miles on the rear tires. My Vulcan 2000cc got 5000 miles out of the first rear tire.

I'm having the 4,600 mile service done soon. I was just looking at my rear tire . . . 4250 miles and the center wear bars are even with the tread :banghead: . . . I run with the recommended air pressure . . . pretty disconcerting to think the rear tire is ready to replace, so soon. Come on, BRP . . . offer a better tire . . . it isn't rocket science.

Which Kumho tire replaces the factory rear? I'm having a heard time figuring out which to buy for my 2013 RT. :banghead:

Khumo Ecsta in the same size as OEM.
