Default Dunlop or Metzler?

Im tryin to order a rear tire to replace my old warn down one. It had metzlers on it, and i know they are good tires. Its just the one place i was gonna order from said that it wont be here until the 26 of this month, and thats just way too long IMO, so im looking at the dunlops D208's. Will i be good with them?

i've got the metzlers on my bike and really like them, all my friends that have them rave about them, and they got the best reviews of any tire i've researched... i've got them in stock in your size if you want, how much were you going to pay from the other guy?

They were 120 through this one online store i went through, but the shipping like i said was gonna take too long. If you keep me under 170 and put the new tire on the rim, then we got us a deal.

yea i've had both, both are good, but i prefer the metzlers... they are pretty much the exact same tire carcas w/ different tread cuts, i think the pirelli's tread pattern is pretty ugly, as squidly as that may sound i just think the metzlers have a cool looking tread pattern, almost identical to pilot sports, and we have them at work so i went with those... pirelli did have a good deal on their diablo' going on, buy a rear get a front free, but it took like 2-4 weeks to get the front and the deal is no longer going on

we are open 9-6, just let me know if you want the tire i can put one aside for you til you want to get it

the SC's are not good street tires, the tread won't last long, they are great track tires tho.

get the metzler M1, i hear those are pretty good tires.
