I wish I could. I don't have any way to confirm this information though. (Although I think the rubber compound is the same -- others here have said Dunlop did something to the tire's structure.)

You might be able to find something out by contacting Dunlop and giving them some of the identifying numbers off of the tire.

If you don't want to do that, just wait about 7000 miles. If the tires are quiet, you have the new ones!
