I think we discovered in 2013 when the new bikes with BS tires were getting poor mileage out of the front tires (5-6K) that they didn't have much rubber on them, compared with the Dunlops.
However many were getting great mileage out of the BS rears..some upwards of 16K miles.
ahh found an old thread from 2013

"Front tires start out with less rubber. According to Bridgestone, their front tires start out with 4/32 tread and rears with 9/32. If that is true with the Dunlops as well in 6200 miles I have used up 1/32 on the front and 4/32 on the rear, so the rear is wearing faster than the front."
