Dunlop Tires - worn out after 15,000 miles

I have a Toyota Tundra with Dunlop tires as standard equipment. After only 15,000 miles the tires are about worn out. I rotate every five thousand miles and tires pressures are to Toyota standards. I contacted Toyota and they referred me to Dunlop as they should warranty their product.

When I contacted Dunlop, they stated that the tires are made to Toyota standards and therefore have no mileage/wear guarantee. I have had premature wear on my Camry also with Dunlop tires that lasted only 20,000 miles and had NO tread left. I changed to another brand and drove 60,000 miles with some tread left.
