The rear might last around 3000 miles, but that's about it. The single cylinder thumper pulses will wear out a rear tire more quickly that a two cylinder due to the uneven firing.
The front tire will usually last at least twice as long as the rear.
Minimum tread depth for those tires is 2/32". You can use the penny test, or go get yourself a cheap tread depth gauge at the auto parts store (or good cycle shop.)
