3 of the 4 Dunlops on my SDL slipped belts on the same weekend. It was a very rough, slow ride home. Wear is a tradeoff with traction. I prefer softer tires with traction and a 40k or so wearlife over longer lasting tires that send you into the ditch if you spit in front of them. IMHO, sticky tires are the cheapest and best insurance you can buy.
