Tire wear is very dependent on multiple factors. Rider style, speed, weight, heat, maintenance, road surface, geographical location among other factors. Those factors are more important than brand. Like oil, and trucks many people have their biases. Many will only run Dunlops, many will only run Bridgestones. Given a choice, I will only run Michelins..on my motorcycles, my cars and my truck. Only if they are not available will I run something else, and then its usually a Dunlop.
Two tires roll off the molds side by side as similar as two made man objects can be, but one rider will get 4000 miles out of one and call it junk, the next rider will get 10,000 out of it and declare them the greatest thing since sliced bread. Doesn't matter if its a Dunlop, a Bridgestone....or a Michelin for that matter.
If you've been around motorcycle forums at all you have seen it, or should I say read it.
The best thing for us is if multiple tire manufactures make tires in our sizes so that we can each find a tire that suits us.
