I have put about 9+k miles on my Elite-4s. It looks like I will get about 10-11k on these and I got about the same on my Bridgestones. I tried them all on my 2002 Wing and found the Bridgestones to have the best characteristics overall, including price. I'm not sure how some folks get so many miles. Perhaps it is my riding style. My tire pressures are maintained (cold 40F 42R) -- even had to add some air when I was on my trip out west as the pressures decrease at the lower elevations.

Pros: General handling
Cons: Front wobble 35-45mph (I think this might be from the balance or mounting--not an issue for me however), bad (as are most Dunlop Elites) with tar snakes and grooved pavement (really bad with the grooves), and have become quite noisy, higher cost than Bridgestones.

Not sure how they are in the rain as I have managed to avoid wet roads -- lucky me.
