Currently 19881 miles on the front and back but I know what I’m getting for Christmas

Handle great but don't last long, 5,800 miles to the wear bar.
OEM lasted 5,800 miles down to the wear bar, long lasting, not.

Good tire for what my bike is designed to do
Longevity is an issue. I have 24,000 on my Lowrider ST and the rear is only getting about 8,000 before they need to be replaced. I got 20,000 out of the front. Rain performance is excellent. Grip and handling are good. I recently did 1100 miles in 17.5 hours and all was good. I do group rides in tight formation and these are able to keep me steady and are responsive. Unbeknownst to me, I picked up a nail on a ride and I figured out that I probably road 50 miles at a good clip with it in there and still had air and control. These tires have proven to be good at what my bike is designed for but the are expensive and with frisky riding they wear out too fast. I am not beating on them but I am not taking it easy. I should be getting over 10,000 miles on a rear but that is not the case. I have a motorcycle budget and it is mostly being spent on tires. I will offer myself to test out tires for ya so please reach out to me and I'll give em a thorough run down.

Great tire!
2023 FXLRST, original tires lasted 13k rear, 31k front. Replaced the rear with a Metzeler Cruisetec, lasted 18k, putting another Scorcher 31 on the rear, new Metzeler on the front. Happy enough to run either the Scorcher 31 or Metzeler, availability is the deciding factor.

Poor mileage longevity
Tires only last 5-6 k miles. Not worth the money.
