dunlop tires suck in my opinion. i have owned 6 bikes. they have all come with dunlop tires as stock except for one of my bikes. as soon as they wore out, i change to the highest performance tire i can get that stays within my budget. i ride about 10K a year, so i need tires i can afford to change out almost twice a year. my suggestion is to find out how many tires you are going to need a year. and buy the best you can.
if you like dunlops, id go with the E3s if you can afford them. if you like metzler, lots seem to like the ME880s, and i just got a set for my new-to-me harley. the pirelli night dragons are supposed to be an ultra high performance cruiser tire. R&D costs money, so the more expensive the tire, generally the higher quality tire.
sometimes you can find great deals on the web or from your local indy. good luck with whatever you decide.
