too bad the tread does not last long. I will get about 5500 miles on it before it wears smooth. I will try the new Michelin next time.

This is what i've been hearing as well, i got almost \\;11,000 on the stock dunlop. i was going to do the metzler tire but read to many post on there tread life.

I have the higher profile front Metzler with the Dunlop rear and i love the combination. handles much better than stock. The 210 rear is lower than stock rear and handles better but wears too fast.
I have the Metzler chart if anyone wants. just pm me with your email address.

I rack the miles too fast to be replacing a rear tire every 5K...I just replaced the D205 at 12K not quite to the wear bar, with a D407, and they tell me I should get more mileage from it than the D205...we'll see...

A 200 on there is sure to cause at least some interference between the two.
