Are we talking just the regular stock dunlops? Take a tire width of 205 and over inflate them. They'll feel like 195 witdth tires afterwards? Not really a safety hazard when overinflating 215 width tires? This is getting to vague for me now because different tires have different characteristics. Also, tires vary with alignment. If alignment is bad, tires will wear faster.

The stock fit is aligned so that the front will wear evenly between 32 to 34 PSI with 0 camber angle. The back setting is a negative camber, but I find that it wears out only the middle at 32-34 PSI. Ususally, the wear marks are noticeable after 200 miles of driving. This is also a reason why rotations are necessary to wear out the tires evenly.
