What is the typical milage one looks for on these bikes. Mine have 11,000. They still have tread, but are 7 years old

On my R1100RT, with ME880's, I get 10,000-11,000 life out of a set of tires.

It would help to know what brand and model tire you have or want to know about.

I have managed to get near 15,000 out of my last Z6's on my 1150RT. Lots of cross country riding.

I have brigstone tires. I can still see a light grove down the center of the tire. Is this a wear indicater?

Never owned any Bridgestones except on the car. I'm sure though that others here will chime in with first hand knowledge. Which model Bridgestones do you have?
