Not sure ... need to check my records ... seemed to go fast ... I tend to ride the Blast! more aggressively than I do the Goldwing ... Momma is usually on the 'Wing with me ... we get 20,000 on a set of E3 Dunlop 'Wing tires.

The Blast! has accumulated around 11,000 miles ... the 'Wing is approaching 100,000 ... both are 2002 models. Blast! is my two-three mile commuter ... 'Wing often sees 10-100 days and has been from Maine to Montana.

I think the Blast! tire might have 5-6 thousand on it ...

Sounds a bit expensive for the MT75. BB usually has very good prices. Shop around first.

I average about 5K on a rear MT75, and swap the front on every other rear change.

ditto here with Ladybuell.

Amazon is a good place to get tires for the Blast.

The oversized Pirelli are giving better mileage and you can't beat the mileage of the st66 in the oversized.

Make sure they are still in business. I've ordered from them before with good results, but I read online that they may have shut down and your order goes nowhere. There were some other red flags but I don't remember what they were. But they were very often the best prices.

FWIW Bike Bandit is a big supporter of the AMA.

I don't know how you get 5K out of the MT75 (that's 8000km), I didn't even get 4000km out of mine.

Normal. Average is maybe 3500 miles. 5000 miles is definitely amazing!

Oversized it would not be.
