73..the Dunlop GT Qualifier is more of a performance line tire, which tends to be made of a softer compound. Dunlop is also a subsidiary of Goodyear, in case you weren't aware. The 60-70-and 80,000 mile tires tend to have a heavier constructed belt package and sidewall, designed to go for a longer mileage without incident. Unfortunetly, many of them tend to be harsh riding, with worse wet traction because of the design compound of the rubber, which is made harder to last for a longer mileage. I dont deal much in the Dunlop line anymore, since they're a Goodyear affiliate, and with Goodyears finaincial difficulties as of late, I'm seeing alot of their financial problems roll downhill into their tire construction and quality, with ride vibration and construction issues, so I've tried to address the problem by going to brands that I have good luck with instead, but if i remember correctly, they're in the 45-50,000 mile range. Also, remember your car is NOT what you'd call "light"... so that will also have an effect on tire wear and longevity.
