Have about 6,000miles on my TC in April. Will need new tires in about 1000 miles.

It’s not great no but riders can get little more than 2k from a really sticky rear (on a sports bike) so it’s all relative. These are heavy long bikes so will be hard on tyres especially the front that does the lions share of braking. The tyre seems to work well so I’d rather stick with OE and if necessary sacrifice some mileage. You want to try another brand that’s fine, it’s like an oil thread. There is no right answer.Well Rufus, in my 45 years riding…..I consider 5k from a front tyre is very poor! Each to their own
The Bridgestone H50 and the Michelin Commander 3 are OEM. The specific unit got whichever tire they had available at build.It’s not great no but riders can get little more than 2k from a really sticky rear (on a sports bike) so it’s all relative.

Had 16" Michelin Commanders III on my 2021 Classic FE...Just replaced them at 8k with Metzler 888s. Had a slight wobble on the front since 6k which got tremendously bad after 7k...Took this oppty to upgrade to 19/16 inch RSD Chrome Wheels. It looks and rides magnificently now.Have about 6,000miles on my TC in April. Will need new tires in about 1000 miles.
