I got 8,000 miles. Barely. Was on a trip. (3400 miles total). When I started they looked fine. I rode pretty fast and the heat was at or above 100 degrees. The rear just melted away.

Right "birdman".
I've heard people compare motorcycle tires to toilet paper rolls. When they get toward the end - they go fast.

Certainly your high speed and temperature were factors too.

In May, when I bought my NT, the front was cupping and the rear was so-so at 5600 miles.

I had the dealer put a new set of PR4s on at his cost before I picked it up.
