Put new rubber on my baby tonight. She went 3899 miles and that is a record for me. Most of the time 1000 miles and they are slick. I do not know if its the bike or the Scorpion Syncs. Happy no matter which it is.

Mountainrider, do you mean that you only got 3899 miles from a set of Syncs?

I will need new sneaks for next season too, I was planning on going with the Scorpions but I may try out those new Dunlop Qualifiers instead...

Dunlop would have to give me a set to get me on their tires again. Even then I'd have to think about it first.
But, just to be fair, I'll wait 'til someone else other than Dunlop reviews 'em.
The 207s and 208s were crap in my opinion.
Once I tried the M1s, Diablos, and the Scorpions, Dunlop is hard to even consider.
Even the Maxxis tires performed better.
All this of course is my opinion.

Dogwood the bike already had 1750 miles on it when I got it and it looked like easy miles. I bet this next set will last about 2200 miles if I am lucky. I have never gotten over a 1000 miles out of any other tire before.

I know you guys won't believe it, but I got 6,000 miles on my set of Dunlop 207s before I got a set of Pilot Powers. I even rode them hard. I know it's hard to believe. Now that I have felt what good tires will do for this bike, I will never consider Dunlops again. Only Michelins for me.

I tried the 208s before and got a whopping 800 miles and they were worn slick.

'Bout 1000 miles on the ol' original Dunlops.
