Yours are wearing in the middle then whereas mine wear out on the edges. You must also like acceleration (why else own a Rocket?) and guessing you might downshift a lot too.

The best tire prices I've found are from Rocky Mountain ATV. Free shipping and I usually get them within 3 days.

I just got my shinko from chaparral motorsports, maybe revzilla, or just any site on amazon or ebay that has what i want at a good price.

That's probably a little bit why. The 1st set of tires I got for my nighthawk650 were shinko. I got about 6k out of them as a new rider. Switches to metzler and had about 10k before they were done. Same commute same riding style and weight.
You do get what you pay for.
 
I have paid for the top tier bike tires and have the same results so why pay more.

Because the right tire won't wear as much. It's hard to get a 240 tire to do that though. Plenty of tires will get you higher milage. I mean .... If you are complaining about short lives tires. Get a better bike that takes normal tires that can go 10k to 15k no issues for commuting.
 
I don't commute, I'm retired. I formerly lived in western NY, currently in Florida, in both places everywhere within 100 miles is a regular grid of straight flat roads. It's a big country, everyone doesn't live where you live, ya know?
