I can say I am not a fan of the original tires. I keep my tires at 41 psi all the time. The last set of Dunlops' I had were on my Harley and I put 24,000 miles on them before replacing both tires. So far, the Dunlop elite 3's or 4's work for me. .
I averaged 18,000 miles each on the first 4 sets of Bridgestones on the F6B. I am not sure how I am riding differently than you but I do mostly straight line riding at 80-85 mph in the Florida heat. That being said I installed Elite 4's as my 5th set and we will see how they hold up. So far they seem a little "slippery when wet" compared to the stones.

As far as car tire handling....watch this Goldwing at the Dragon. It does not seem to slow him down!
