RE: harder compound?
I'm sure this will start a firestorm of comments but
the Dunflops are a harder compound and would last
longer in the heat I would say. The Metzers would handle
better in the wet.

i've done the searching and yeah i know most like the Metz's...i'm sure i'll hit some rain in "sunny" florida, but like i said i'm mostly highway at 75-80 mph and the rest of the roads down here are in pretty good shape...i have a Metz on the rear now but i think i'm leaning more towards the Lop's
