You live where its hot & theres plenty of rain, so you , on one hand, dont need a real sticky tire, because the roads & temps are warm & you arent about to just slip down because the tire is too hard to grip, but what about the rain? You ride in it a lot? How did you like the stockers? You got 8,000 out of them, I think they're crappy( Mine felt like they had baby oil on them from day one, lasted 5,000 & never felt secure) but you got 8 Thousand miles? I guess you ride smoothly & dont rip around corners a lot? Diggers point is a sure thing to consider, tires die of old age, even if the tread is still good, so get one that'll wear out before it dies of old age. Ive run Maxxiss( I hear they no longer make M/C tires) twice, once I got 5,500, then I got 3,000! No more of that, thankyuveramuch...Now, The Dunlop on it is doing a fine job. Offers good traction & its holding up to wear just fine. I DO want to give the Metzlers a shot one day, BUt, I dont know if Ill ever get there, because I intend to go the Old Feller way & run a car tire. If he says it handles well enough then I trust it, because he doesnt just poke around, he gets on down. I dont like paying for those tires OR wrestling with them, so the "Dark Side" looks good to me...
YMMV, but itll be a lot better on a car tire.
