personally im going with metzeller since i have had good luck with them. My heritage has the dunlop 402 on it and it is nearly slick at 6000 miles. Avon is another good choice and you can get them as cheap as the dunlops.

I'm on my second set of Michelin Commanders.
MUCH smoother ride and better mileage.
I definitely recommend them!

I have run them 1 time and they were smooth...just bought 3 of them from Jake wilson for $59.99/ea If you run MU85B16 they might still have some...They are discontinuing the Commander and going to a Commander II so that's why the good price...Tires are like oil everybody will have a different opinion.
