I myself am looking at going the other way when it comes time replace my
tars.  I found (very early too) that they 'chunk' off.  When you take
corners very fast, little chunks of the tires come off, and looks very
weird.  Mine are also cupping.  Both of these things occured within the
first 4-5 thousand miles, and right now I have 20K on the tires.  I think I
can get another 10-15K out of them.  They did pretty well in the snow
however.  Do you find these tires make more noise than the Dunlops?
