^^^ Not sure of your point ^^^ Do you not see endless posts about tires wearing out as little as 6, 7, 8000 miles from many posters who agree with the OP, owner of a 2018 Goldwing?
Yeah, some guy claiming otherwise, big deal, I dont see any facts from him, only the original OP counts and clearly numerous others in the thread confirmed with him the issue.
Fact is, nothing has changed yet, rear tires do wear out as little as 8000 and maybe less miles on Goldwings to this day. reading all those posts, you can believe what you want, fact is, the 2018 OP owner has an issue like I stated with all Metric touring bikes. They burn through OEM rear tires and there is no denying that, I suspect things will improve as some after market tires will last longer but at the expensive of bad side effects sometimes.
Again, just a fact, Harley Heavy touring bikes do not have this rear tire issue for AT LEAST a decade (maybe more) as much as you HATE Harley, you cant win on this subject.
) - peace
... and I HATE getting rear tires replaced, so my Road King is a godsend in that respect (and many others)
According to that thread, there are far more GW owners getting 12-15K from the OEM tires than those who are getting less than 10K, but you seem to be focused on the few who are getting less miles...the vast majority of GWs getting less than 10K on the original tires are pre-2018 models...

Oh really?
The good news is anyone can read those posts from owners of Gold wings and determined for themselves.
Here is yet another thread confirming my first post...
