This subject seems to come up every 3-4 months on this forum. Metzelers are superior handling tires on both dry and wet conditions. I have 35-40K miles on ME880s with no troubles. As stated many times, under-inflation is the main cause of tire failure for any brand tire. Add riding two-up on an under inflated tire and you are sure to have problems. My local indy tire shop sells all brands, they told me they see more defects in the Dunlops than any other.
Bottom line, don't panic, regularly check air pressure and make sure to have the correct load rating for your bike and all is good.
