The Dunlop 200/55x17 requires a 6.00-6.25 in rim and the Metzler 210/50x17 requires a 6.00-7.00 in rim. So the Metzler will fit the rim.

Thanks again TC88, the couple off at 60 mph would be unnoticed-how true are the speedos anyway, right? I kinda like the tread on the ME880 (nice Pix CH666). The milage TK353 brought up is interesting. I Just got mine a couple months ago with 13,000 on it. The Avon is at the bars and I don't know how worn the original was when it was replaced. I just came to figure they only last 6-7,000 miles, 4,700 seems very short lived. Hows yours wearing CH666?

Jim,
I assume that the 200/55 is a stock Dunlop 401. If it is, it has a 26.07" diameter and the Metzler 210/50 you spoke about is a ME880. If it is the Metzler has a 25.28" diameter. With that said, if you were traveling at 60mph with the Dunlop, the corrected speed would be 58.18mph for the Metzler. Here's a link to a speedometer calculator.

Bottom line: don't worry about it.
