I Ordered the Commander II

Now that I've decided on the Michelin Commander II for the rear, the front is next. I can't find the right tire size for the Commanders on the front. I've used Metzlers 880 marathons on my previous bike and really like them. I was wondering about y'alls thoughts on the Pirrelli Night Dragons vs the Metzlers?

What model and year is the bike? Stock size wheels or aftermarket? Tire size?

I have heard things in the past about Metzlers "chunking". I read quite a bit about tires when I purchased new ones on my last bike. Perelli's were never really in my scope but I ended up going with Dunlop Elite III's on the last bike and they were awesome. So, for what it's worth, it might be worth looking in to.
