Default rear tire issues

i have an 01 rk and i run the dunlop 402's and i can only get about 4000 miles out of one. does any one with a rk around that year have the same problems? i dont do burnouts but i am a little agressive on starting and stopping. i ride everyday mostly back roads in nc.i do have a tour pack on it and ride two up on weekends. thanks for any info.
