I went the RSIV route last year hoping for higher mileage than the prior set of Michelin Road 5 and 5 GTs. Sadly, I didn't see a change in mileage, touching the wear bars at ~6500 miles on the front with plenty of remaining tread on the rear tire. The replacement front tire (RSIV) was delivered, and the price ($157) was a few dollars less than I paid a year ago. We'll see how long the rear lasts.
At $157 for the front and $207 for the rear, the Dunlops are significantly cheaper than the Michelins. My only complaint is a slight vibration (side-to-side) on the first front tire. Was it an artifact of the tread pattern or a fabrication flaw, I don't know. I'm hoping it was something specific that tire.

I knocked, but the door was open.......
