    I have the new dual compound tires on my 09 FLTR. Currently I have over 13k miles on them and both are still in the green when using the HD tread gauge. HD never said a thing about my tires when I had the 10k service done at a little over 11k miles and they never miss a chance to try and sell you tires.
