The best is an opinion. I liked the Metzler's but after half the tread life of the Dunlop i went back to it for the rear but i kept the Metzler on the front and not have the best of both. I have a Metzler chart I can email you with the upgrade sizes that will work and what you need to do.

I know on the 02 it's 140. Stock is 130.

The 140 leaves me about a creditcard width at load before I'm hitting the belt with the side of the tire. I'm not sure if they upped the tire size in 03 or 04.

As for tire manufacturer?? I've never had a problem with the Dunlops, but it could be my driving style. Others hate them. Avvon, Michilen, and Metzler are all proven brands as well.
