Tire Life?????

Just wondering, what kind of tire life are you seeing with the rear V-Rod tire. I am Looking to put a 180 on my bike. The V-Rod has a very cool tire with a taller wheel, so this tire is on the top of my list right now.

The problem is every tire company selling a replacement for the V-Rod is giving these tires less tread depth than my stock tire. I am just wondering if that would be a problem or not.

Any help would be great!!!

I just replaced my VROD's rear tire with 3/32's left on it after putting on 7100 miles. The new tire measures 7/32 depth.

I have 10,300 miles on my tires. Front looks good, back should probably be changed, it's getting pretty worn.
