Got a couple of classics on my '81 lowrider. Ride good but don't believe they'll get the mileage of the Dunlops I usually run.

Besides the price of Maxxis tires has really increased since I bought these.

i run a classic www on the back. (had one before this one too)  i do about 11,000 miles a year, to/from work mostly. the tire last one year for me, end up having to change late summer every year.
was the same for me with dunlap and continental tires I've run before. i run cheng-shin 21" on front, i get two years out of those.
anyway, that's been my experience with the cheap as dirt Chinese tires others may differ.

  I ran the maxxix classics wwws on my flh for a while, got 7000 out of the rear maybe 9000 out of the front. Not real high mileage but not too bad for me. I don't think they ride as well as my Dunlops and they have large raised lettering in the whitewall that make them a royal b*tch to clean.
