bridgestone trailwing tires - tw21 and tw22

In May of 2006, I made a trip across the four Western Canadian
provinces. Prior to the trip I installed some Bridgestone Trailwings
on the KLR: T21 Front; T22 Rear. This trip was mainly on paved roads
which were in relatively good shape, until I got to Manitoba. The
tires were quiet and handled well, even in the rain. However, the rear
tire was pretty much done at the end of the 7500km trip. I checked the
tire depth and pressure every morning before setting out - air pressure
was good. My personal thoughts are that the rear tire should have
lasted longer, especially with most of the travel on asphalt.
Anyone have experience with these tires?

I ran a T22 on the rear of my KLR and had a similar experience,
pleased with the performance of the tire on the pavement, but it only
lasted around 5000 miles.
