Are you referring to 3 rear and 2 front tires in 10,887 miles?

I noticed you had that in the other bikes info also. Just wondering if I am misunderstanding your meaning here.
Coming to you live from Daytona.
Yes. 3rd rear & 2nd front. That is not unusual wear for that part of the world. All Mountains, all curves, all up hill or down. Dealership is located half way between "129 The Dragons Tail" and the "421 Snake" , And most "renters" rent them for that reason.
4-5000 miles for a rear and 9-10,000 for a front, Dunlop is good mileage, same reason we go through so many break pads, clutches & transmissions, around home to.
Crotch rocket boys will go through a set of tires in 1 weekend ridding the "421 Snake-129 Dragon loop"!
If you ride them hard stuff wears out fast!
90 curvs in 4 1/2 miles up the mountain to my house!!
