WOW Ej!! You truly are a mile hog.
A little envious.
Once in a while I'll punch it just a little. Had to do it one day when a 'youngster'
on a crotch rocket pulled up beside me and asked....just commented that it was a little old mans trike---as I left him in shock.
On my 2015 I got 16,901 on rear tire...it was time to change so just bought a
2016 --- well I got a 2016 for other reasons --- it was about time for a new tire.
I just put new tires on the 2016 --- had a damaged rear and was getting ready
for several long weekend trips so changed all three to Nitto 555 and now have put 2500 miles on then in 3 weeks so far great.
Ej, how do the Nitto's compare to the stock tires, ride, handling, etc.
16,000 miles was just about to the wear bar. I was going back to Maggie Valley and did not want to take a chance in the wet so I put on a BFG. I could probably get another 4,000 miles out of it. I saved it for a spare, just in case there was none inGeorgetown.
I went with the BFG G force Comp 2 Summer version - great tires but with the turbo and my lead foot I estimate 3K on the rear. Fronts will most likely out last the bike

The ride is definitely a little smoother, broke them in on a weekend ride to South Carolina 8 - 11 Apr 2016 a little over 1800+ miles in cold, warm, and 200 miles of rain,
All seamed to handle well. The rain, I slowed down some coming north on I75 and
than I74. Some of the guys here seem to really like them and these are guys I learned
to respect there thoughts on a variety of topics. They do lots of research.
Only had 7000 miles on the 2016 when I changed the tires --- had a damaged rear tire that needed to be changed so I bite the bullet and got three Nitto's. the trip to SC and than to SSITS thought the matched set would be best.

No Turbo, Got 16,901 miles on the rear (OEM) of the 2015 before I traded.
I'm not a super aggressive rider
My rear tire lasted 9K miles. I replaced with Michelin 34K mileage warranty (cut to 17K since on a bike). It was slippery as hell and only lasted for 6K miles. Replaced it yesterday at 15K mileage with a BFG tire with good tread & 4 deep rain grooves For $115. It sticks to the road & should perform well in the rain & at Maggie valley. Dealer Wants $350 installed, for the OEM rear!!! 
BTW, my OEM fronts are probably 3/4 tread left. Mis allignment is death to the fronts.

Agree. I had mine laser aligned in Eureka last year by Cycle Springs.

Which BFG tire did you use? Did you stay with the stock 255-35-20?
Actually, stock is 255/35R20

I looked at the General G-Max AS-03 the other day and I liked what it looked like. Rated wet 8.6 dry 8.8 $133 for 255/35-20 The BFG G-Force Comp.-2AS is rated at the same site Wet 9.3 Dry 9.5 and also has a 275 which will mount on the 9 inch rim also the 285 which will mount on a 9.5 inch rim I do not think either one will fit with a fender.

Tripod, that's what I said (after editing the post). wink 
I will more than likely go with a summer tire when I replace. I have ridden 1 time in the rain and never "intend" to let that happen again. Literally if it is even a chance of rain, the sling stays in its house.
I'm looking for a comfortable ride and good traction only. Probably go with the upgraded shocks as well.
Come on over to the "Go" side, brother...the mods never stop... 
btw...I'm smoking BBQ today, if you're out cruising around...
