Just got 14k miles on my front E3... is that pretty typical for everyone?  I was thinking I would get a bit more.  Keep 42lbs in it and only used for long trips, very little around town travel.

I got 25,600 out of this one. It just depends on the miles sometimes. Nothing but straight long interstate miles on this tire. I try to keep 42 in my fronts.

I think off interstate roads and lots of Texas roads (haha) are rough texture wiseand hard on tires. And yes that tire was a little beyond worn.

Truly YMMV tis time.

i've got 15k on mine and it is just about done.  rear has 14K and has plenty left. 


Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane.

I'm at 10K miles on the front.  I expect to squeeze a few more out of it.  No less than 40 psi up front.  All two-lane twisty roads with coarse asphalt surface.  Smooth pavement will make a difference. I'm happy.  sheets

I got around 8,000 on my first and last E3, then I took it off
and threw it in the trash. Still had plenty of tread left.

The E-3's have been good to me, a couple trips to teh Dragon (Deals Gap) and Cheaha, always stuck wet or dry.  23K on the last rear but usually only 20K on the rear.......22-23K on the fronts usually

.....swore off Avon Venoms after my last one picked up a "bolt" in the rear tire with under 1,000 miles on it.....was headed for Colorado with a pack of valks, and wasnt about to ride a plugged tire there....so I had a Dunny E3 thrown on the back....3 years and 18K miles later....it still has "decent" tread on it....which is amazing to me...Id throw another set on, but I bought a new set of Avon Cobras last summer to put on this spring....gonna see what kinda wear I get outta these, and if Im not happy with em, Im gonna throw a set of E3,s on next time....
