On the TC what kind of mileage did you get out of your OEM tires?? What was the replacement?

[BoxerBryan]

I have the TC and at 6000 miles the front tire is gonna be due fairly soon. I was just curious what other peoples experience was?

Just replace my tires, front was cupped pretty bad, back not so much, had Michelin Commander 3 touring as OEM 5900 miles, along with my 6K check. Got a couple of big rides planned for Sept, Oct, Nov (1000 miles ea. minimum) decided to just put a new set on. Went with Metzler 888 Touring, I will see how they fair. Rode the dragon, moonshiner, Cherohala, Skyway, pretty aggressively a few times, and then finished up a 1.2 K ride on mostly 2 lane roads. (all but about 150 miles on 2 lane ) Didn't notice any handling changes, But I did notice the front tire singing in the turns! LOL.

Robert,

My brake pads were fine at 5900 miles. On all the beemers I have owned I have gotten quite a few miles on them. Can't give you a number, but in 85000 miles on my 14 GTL I think I replaced them twice, On My 05 R1200RT I put about 30K on that bike before I replaced them and while both still had a little pad left I would rather be proactive and change them early.
Sorry for the delay in replying, I can recognize German, but can't read it and don't speak it much more than to order a little food and bier! LOL
