'Salright Prof,

The chicken strips on my Dunlops were about 15-20mm after about 2500 miles. I then changed to Bridgestone BT010s and after the 15 mile ride home it was clear that I had used more of they tyre than I had on the Dunlops - and I was taking it very easy due to them being brand new tyres and the average weather which seems to accompany a tyre change!! The standard Dunlops clearly don't inspire much confidence!

As for the wear, from seeing other people's Dunlops, they look fairly new for ages and then all of a sudden just disappear in front of your eyes!
