Beating a dead horse..I know but...
dinosnake:
You're only getting 3k miles out of a set of tires?! You sound like you are loading her up a bit, maybe raise the pressure. 3k is indeed ridiculous.
14ValkyriePilot:
If you're having handling issues I would seriously see your dealer. I've got just over 3k on mine and spent the first half of today running twisty roads without issue. Then, I got caught in the hardest rain that I've ever ridden in with pooling and spraying and never missed a beat (I did find however that once I couldn't see anything, I was in trouble).
Or you could always go darkside, buy a hairless cat and some Lennon glasses and ride with those perverts. :roll: -> :crazy2:
Seriously, though, if your having stability issues I would see a dealer immediately. It would suck to have a loose rear suspension/drive component fail while you're waiting for new tires to be developed.
Robert:
What tire pressure are you running? I used to run my old Valk at around 44 the new one I run at around 42 to 43 I have 2500 on mine and the tire looks even and good all around. I didn't like the lower pressures of the OEM recommendation.
NCGhostrider:
This reminds me of the tire threads in the early days of the gl1500 Valkyrie. A lot of us wore out our stock dunlop tires at 2500 to 3000 miles. Many of us went to Metzlers and Avons as a result.
That has been a few years ago...

I've already said that I hate my Dunlop OEM rear tire because it's so slippery but there's no urge to change it, with 24,000 km/15,000 miles today.
Motorrad has given the results for his road tires test 2015 and it goes like this :
