I went from Metzlers to Dunlops on my last tire change.
The price installed was about half, for the Dunlops, than the Metzlers.
The Metzlers seemed more stout, like heavier, thicker, harder.
I was blown away with their sure-footed feeling compared to our stock tire, it was night and day.
Having been on the Dunlops for over a week now, I must say its a better tire for our bike. I believe it has to do with the weight of our bike, being so light, it needs a lighter tire.
The traction and responsiveness is much better and it still feels as well planted as the Metzlers.
We will see about wear, only one way to determine that
But I highly recommend this tire!
