I just got a set of the Dunlops and I really like them.  they are good 
in wet and dry conditions.  The treadwear number is 320 (I think, the 
car is not home right now), the have a 45K mile warranty on them so with 
mostly highway driving there should be no problem with getting 50k miles 
out of them.  Also, got them through Tire America, they had an ad in the 
back of Autoweek for $60 per tire for 215/60's, the local Tire America 
matched the price.  An awesome deal for tires.
