The Dunlop American Elite and the Michelin Commander II are 'comparable'. The Dunlop D407 is not a multi-compound tire in a 200mm so it won't get the mileage.
If you want grip and ride aggressively then you don't want a multi-compound tire for the best performance but you will sacrifice mileage. There is no silver bullet but cheap isn't where I place my value on life, so my tires are never bargain basements.
I just don't let Stealers get all my money for a simple wheel removal and mount. I take my wheel to an Indy with either a reputable Internet tire source tire or buy the tire from the Indy. Once in a while the dealer will have specials when they are unloading older stock so I have taken advantage of that, too.

I have 4600 miles on mine and they only look half work and they were great in the rain this winter. Good choice and the price is right. When they get popular betcha the price will go up!
