I'm not expecting good tire mileage with the DR 650, I only have 900 miles on it, and both tires are already showing wear, of course a bike that puts that big a smile on your face is doing things that doesn't promote high tire mileage.

With a rear tire with no tread, tar parking lots were quite the experience!
