Dunlop is known for having a softer compound rubber in their tires.. The factory Bridgestone Battlax Qualifier tires that come on the '07 CBR are some very decent tires from what I've heard.. Relatively inexpensive as well.. Check it out...
battlelax are good tires.

the 07 doesnt come with bridgestones it comes with dunlop qualifiers
Mine does have bridgestones on it from the factory....

DH
then they are not qualifiers
because after reading this i went to go look at my new 600 and it says dunlop on it
they also come with bstone bt014s

here is a tip if you go to buy a new 600RR look at the tires
the dunlops are head and shoulders better than the 014s
the 015s are pretty decent id make sure i got the qualifiers

It depends on where they come from on which tires they get. (Color comes with certain tires on certain bikes as well)

Mainly it is from triple digit back road blasting, knee down at 100plus that wears em out

tahoe you need to stop being a pansy.

meanstrk you need to stop riding like a girl.

my bike (orangey yellow 2000 cbr600 f4) went through 9 sets of tires in 2,500 miles! my motto is "ride or die". it's WFO on the throttle or bust for me mang!! i ride so EXTREMELY hard out in the canyons! i'm notorious for doing triple-digits even when i'm cutting through a big clowd of hardley riders or squeezing between opposing lanes of traffic on the double yellow. when i'm on the track, i late brake so HARD i leave blackies! that's why the steel belt shows through on my fronts after a hard weekend of riding! ps, when you ride as fast as i do, all that soft crap like pirelli and michelin sucks ***** and goes away like eraser, so i roll with cheap-o recalled Cheng Shin tires. they can handle the abuse i put on them! i use them on my CBR600F4, my CBR600RR, my EX250, my Ducati 999 (which i'm swapping out for a 1099 btw), my Bimota, my Vespa, my R1, my Honda Ruckus, my Yamaha Zuma, my GSXR1000...

people like tahoe tell me to slow down all the time, but they're just noobs. i served in the boy scouts; the training and harsh experiences i endured out there have made me indestructable. so don't worry about me, just get out of my way in the canyons!

here's a picture of my greatness so you all know who i am:
