Default Don't run those E4s down too far.

Replacing a Dunlop E4 and found that compound changes after worn down a certain amount. The rest goes fast..

Got 6700 miles out of it..

It appears you ride for fun, not for economy. Suggest you take a close look at brake pad thickness also.

Brake pads were fine.. Rears past longer, than the fronts.

The only problem I have with these tires is that the wear bars are not obvious. I like the tire and would have replaced it with same but they were 2-3 weeks out,

Other then that I got about 2500 more than an AE, Excedra, Cobra, Pirelli and about 1500 less than an E3, CII. About 1000 more than a Metzler. 150-80x16.

Man you really run them down don't you? I hope you never get caught in a sudden rain storm with tread like that...

6,700 seems awful low, unless burnouts, and or tire not aligned , seems odd, looks scary
