I have not been impressed with Dunlops, got only about 4700 miles on original. Put another on cause only choice here in a hurray, it is also wearing bad, but had a nail so pressure was low, not sure how long cause tire never looks low, just rode soft so checked and it was at 15. Put the new one on and ran 42 psi for a trip I took about 2100 miles and now noticed the tire is flat in center, so not sure when got the nail. Seemed to be ok for the trip, but only 2100 miles and a flat spot.
Also just posted in the Tires section, about what a dealer told me about putting ceramic beads in the tire, he said this is supposed to increase mileage, sound like a possible thing, but could be BS. anyone heard of these.
