i know a few months isn't accurate to judge treadwear, but if u look at their ratings they are good...plus a few of my buds have had them and they got 20,000-30,000 miles on them easily...to me thats good..

20k-30k is HORRIBLE treadwear, you can get performance z, w or y rated tires that will last at least 50k-60k and will grip just as good the whole time, thats my point, these tires are designed for the track but are DOT approved for the street

ON MY eclipse, yes, on my CRX i am using Falken ZE502's (h) rated, which is irrelevant but that is just in retrospect, i will be running bridgestone re750's when those wear out (on my rotas that still have no tires).....

http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/


lookup the 750's, they have a 3 year limited warranty from the factory (roughly 45,000 miles), etc.......and they are W rated

Dunlop D60 A2's, they kinda suck. Noisy and not too terribly durable for having such a hard compound. Better experience with General and BF Goodrich. I just thought their motorcycle tires were good so I got the Dunlops

we didn't sell many dunlop motorcycle tires at my shop, we sold mainly michelin pilot sports and the occasional bridgestone battleax tire, but most of the time it was the michelin tires......

they are an amazing tire, once again they are W rated which is up to 168mph and it is ultra sticky and performs GREAT in the wet weather and dry (unlike the spec 2 which will only perform so-so in we weather)......it is based off of a race tire

when u finally get those 750's on, let me know how u like them...they sound like a pretty good deal and may be my next buy when my spec-2s wear out...
