I went with America Elite in stock size. I most likely won't have a good take on them till next year. Here in Michigan riding season is going to leave soon.

Dunlop's were horrible compared to these.
I can not opine on Michelin's and Avon's as I have never tried them.
I would never run the Metzler 888s. See this thread.

I'd like to see a pic or two of the rear to see how it looks/fits if that's possible. Thanks.
