I changed my rear out at 13400 and have 15000 on the front and still going.
Best tires I've ever used. The stealer quoted me $850 for the front and rear tire. I paid a total of $222 for both.

Dunlop has the newer American Elite, available in the size you need. Back tire has the dual tread rubber compound. I love them , awesome handling. Not too pricey either. JR

My stock rear dunlops get replaced around 12K miles, might could push it a little more but don't. I have the tire and wheel warranty that replaced my rear tire last year at 10K for a puncture and it still had just over 3/32" tread left. So far so good for me.
Keep check on the date of manufacture on tires you buy, I have heard of tire sales to get rid of old stock. JFI.

Is there anything else out there to replace the D402's with double compound type Dunlop is what I'm looking for & not have to modify anything. I need mileage & handling the best of both worlds.

Check out the Dunlop American Elite in a 150/80-16. This is what I am leaning towards on my '08 either that or a Dunlop 401 in a 150/80-16. I am a Dunlop guy from way back.
