Tires !!!!!!

[Grumpy Goat]

I have NEVER gotten 8,000 miles out of a front or rear motorcycle tire. EVER and I've been riding on pavement since 1970. 

So many variables in tire longevity, and in my case I have never gotten under 8k miles out of any tire. On the RS the typical is around 8-9k on the rear and like over 11k on the front. But the Tiger and its factory tires (Bridgestone Battlax A41) ridden also on road are the best so far ... 13k and counting, and they are not down to the wear bars (but getting close).
