  I'll give Dunlop the benefit of the doubt here.  The tires I bought were
  among the first in the country.   I know that tire companies are constantly
  fooling with rubber compounds.  MeZ4s are much longer lasting than they used
  to be.  My new RT came with a set that lasted 8K....unheard of in the past.
  They worked much better than I'd remembered too.

BMW gets a unique MEZ4, denoted by a letter suffix on the name, if I
recall correctly, so their life may not be typical of a standard MEZ4.
