I've got a Michelin on the front and a Dunlop on the back. 8k miles on the front and 6k on the rear. Tread still looks good on both. I have a set of Metzler Laser Tech. that Angelis gave me with less then a thousand miles on them, when these wear out. I really can't say that much negative about the original Bridgestones. I got 16k miles out of the front and 18k miles out of the rear, if you are looking for mileage over perfomance.
