I have not had good luck with Dunflops on my 1200. Once I got 7000 and the next one I got less than 4000. Literally, I checked the tire before going for a ride, It looked fine, based on present wear, should have about 2K or 3K miles more to go. Then 125 miles later....... POP!! Wore right through. It's like that last 3/32 of tread is as soft as a chocolate bar laying on the sidewalk on a 100 degree day!
My 1500 had Michelin's on it when I first got it and I loved those tires, but they wore out over time and miles. I put an E3 on it but it too didn't last long so I went to the Austone Taxi Tire.
On my 1800, I installed Avon Cobra's because I heard a lot of good things about them, but my rear tire, after 7000 miles is starting to look like that one, flat on the bottom and almost new on the sides. For me it due to all the highway driving I have done, straight up pulling a trailer.
