J&P's been running sales on tires and $25 rebates on the Avons. Don't know what their current sale is but I just received an email a couple days ago about tire sales again.

The Dunlops are a decent tire. The Avons and Metzlers grab the road better and I think they handle better.

Running Metzlers now and it's an amazing difference. Turns feel so much better, curves feel so much better, and as said before it doesn't track grooves near as much. I hear great things about the Avons as well, but I think I'll be getting Metzlers again with my next tire change.
