2K on my Sava rear. 3K on Pilot City so far, and hardly any wear on front at 5K.

It depends on a lot of factors: Weight, speed, road conditions, straight vs twisty, how hard you get on the throttle etc.

I'm guessing the average around here is about 3000 miles for a stock Sava rear tire probably double that for a front.

I've got 7800 km on my stock Pirellis, and the rear is still showing 1.5 mm of tread. It is recommended to change at 1 mm.
The front shows 2.5 mm, so I would guesstimate about 2:1 front to rear.

Almost all my riding is highway and at 70 - 100 kph.

Mileage
I have a GTS and I got 4,500 miles out of the back Sava and still running the front at 6000 mi. Most of my miles are freeway at 60+ mph. Keep the pressure where it belongs and that will make a big difference.

I took my stock Pirelli's in after about 2500 and the rear was pretty bare. The technician said he was puzzled that they wore so quickly. I think I had my pressure a little low actually. I'll probably switch to a longer wearing tire next time, although I like the performance of the Pirellis.

5000 km on my Pirelli rear. I could have gone farther on it, but the wet weather season is upon us (me) and I wanted to make sure I had fresh tires for that!

How many licks does it take to get to the center on a tootsie roll pop?

4000 on my pirellis (don't do burnouts!) Pilots too early to tell, 1k in and they are still magical.
