My Sport Glide needs a rear tyre soon, noticed when washing it today. It's got about 1mm till it's illegal. Is 3 months a good tyre life?

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

I replaced the tyres on my Street Glide at 13000 miles. Not bad for a big heavy tourer. They weren’t completely worn but the rear was flattening off pretty well.
Do you get tyres mail order and fit them yourself? If so these people are good https://twotyres.co.uk/ Competitive prices and good service. Speak to Chris or Dean and say Pete from Limobike sent you.

Thanks. I get them fitted but normally to loose wheels. I don't have a jack for the HD yet though,and no working car to get the wheels anywhere anyway.
My neighbour fits bike tyres so if the price works I can get them done by him.

They are a decent price, shame trials rears are out of stock. Going to bookmark them for the future

Not unless you've been couriering on it, I think my friend used to get more than that out of his stupidly big stupidly heavy Honda? cruiser and the tyres were OEM only at that point

Hoolis obviously done far more miles on it , and then clocked it , so it doesn't lose too much value .
