as we say all the time in medicine... it depends.... it depends on how you ride. Lots of fast starts and fast stops and you will wear them out faster.... going 75 mph on an oklahoma turnpike versus 55 mph on an oregon freeway will make a difference as well. two up may actually help rear milage because the added weight/traction (if you wife is slim like mine), but may work against you welll... I won't go there. Having a sidecar always wore out tires faster for me especially with tow-in set like the manufacture suggested. Had a cheng-sing once -- well pay less, get less.
Todays tires certainly are better than the ones available when I bought my '78.
