Default What did you replace your stock FB Lo tire with?

I'm close to needing a new rear tire on my FB Lo.
I only got 6K on it, but the bike feels like it's glued to the highway running 70-80. I'm guessing that's partly because of that soft tire.
Curious to what others went with and how the handling compares to the stock Dunlop.
Haven't called the dealer yet to get a price including mounting on the Dunlop. Didn't want to ruin Easter weekend. LOL
If you replaced it with the stock Dunlop, what did you pay?

My wife's running Metz 880s on the front and back of her Lo. They seem to be handling just fine for her, and, so far, wearing nicely. Not sure on the mileage, yet, but she's probably got 1500 or so on them so far. The stock Dunlops didn't last long - ran through two rears and a front in about 8k miles. Hoping for a lot better with these. She's not the slightest bit scared to twist that throttle hard and push the limits. For a little lady, she throws that scoot around pretty good.

As for pricing, I know that when I called a couple of dealers around here, they wanted something insane like $850 and $795 for installing a new pair of stock tires. You can guess which finger I showed them, quick, fast, and in a hurry. Got in touch with my Indy (who's a personal friend) and things were much, much better, like somewhere around half that for better service, better tires, and I learned some stuff and shot the $hit with him for a while.
