Dunlop 3000 on MCSC

So, my OEM tires are Dunlop 3000. They don't sell these in the USA, went to Dunlops site after striking out at Tirerack. So I did a search and have come to the conclusion that they are UK or EU tires. Which makes sense instead of shipping US type wheels to the UK and then shipping those on a car.

What I am looking for is some input on these things. I like them so far but wanted to get an idea of performance and wear etc. I don't plan on replacing them directly since they are run-flats and I don't want the extra weight and harsh ride. But I am planning on my next tires, or upgrading to 17's with some higher performance rubber and using these on the off season if they are okay for winter use. Otherwise I will strip these off and buy some great winters.

I just want some reviews or info on these things so I no what I am riding on. I am a Bridgestone fan, and not too familiar with Dunlops. The tread pattern looks like the 5000's, but I don't want to assume.

Any input....
