I got cold feet on mixed reviews of metzelers.   I went back to the stock Dunlop's.

Very happy with Metz tires.. Haven't had a Dunlop in years.. I believe the Metz will give you longer tire life and as good or better traction.. IMHO

I got 15,000 miles out of my stock Dunlops.  Still had another couple thousand miles left probably.  The main reason I changed was due to the age of the tires.  8 years old.

They get pretty hard by two years.. Good call..
