I've been running E3's front and rear (stock sizes) since I got rid of the Bridgestones.
In September I changed front and back tires after our trip West. I got 35,000 km /21,750 miles out of the front. I was down to the wear bars and the ride was still reasonable....not like brand new, and I rode easy at the end. Because the rear was also worn down, I replaced it shortly afterwards.
I ride 37psi front, 40psi rear, and about 25psi rear shock.
I'll stick with Dunlop. Don't want to take the chance that I'd get the Avon's that crack, or the Metzlers that chunk.
