Da*n OEM Dunlops won't wear out! Help!

23,000 miles, no rotation and still these things look like new! Little if any tread wear and no scalloping etc.! I'm to cheap to replace them with some good tires till these things are at least a little worn! What to do?

I feel your pain but if you don't do something you've got a while to go. I'm at almost 45,000 and just about to replace mine even though they don't totally need it. I'm sick of the peices of crap. Need a non-street tire now!

Mine show way too much life at 16000 miles.

20,000 is nothing for a good tire. As long your alignment is good, and you dont buy a discount tire from wal-mart. I had a tires on my 88' Oldsmobile, last 80,000.
