Anyone tried any rear tires besides the stock Dunlop D401 200-55-R17?

I ran over a screw and gotta replace the rear tire so I figured I'd check all my options.

I might go with a Dunlop D205 200-55-R17 just because I can get a way better deal on it. Anyone used these tires?

 

I've talked to my son and his friend and they say the stock lop200 is hard to find around here...

 

your in luck. i tried the metzler 210/50-17 and it fits and lowers the gear ratio and handles great but only lated 4700 miles compared to the dunlop that lasted 9 to 10k.
i wanted both the handling and the milage. i just tried the new dunlop roadsmart. sport tread but hard rubber center. i only have 500 miles on it but it handles great like a metzler and it is a 200/50-17 so the mph were off 3 at 60. it reduced enough to make the 6th gear very useable. because i have thundermax i can calibrate the speedometer and it is accurate now. the tire was cheaper than metzler and i would say try it.
as far as a screw the debate goes on. i plugged my dunlop stock and rode it until 8000 miles with a rope plug from walmart. it was in between the tread pattern just offset from center.

I just switched from stock Dunlop to Pirelli Night Dragons front and rear....right off the bat, I noticed that it seemed to handle better, but not enough mileage yet to give an overall opinion.
