I've been told to use Metzler's on the "fat fender" bikes and use Avons on Dyna's, sporties and such. I've been using Dunlop's since dayone and no problems so far. Get 12-13,000 miles out of rear and 18,000 miles from front. I ride a Dyna sport. Might go to Avon's next...

How long do the metzlers generally last?
That depends on how you ride. Nobody gets the same mileage out of a tire.
