Default want to change from Metzelers to Michelins. Need your opinions

I am running a front 120/70-21 rear 160/60-18 Metzeler 880's on my Deluxe. Loved the tires, got about 7k out of them. Would like a little more ware. No body else makes front and rear those sizes besides Metzeler. Thinking of trying a Michelin Commander II on front and a Michelin Pilot Road III on back, any opinions on that combo?

My only comment is that the Road 3 has a low load rating of 70. How does that compare with the stock tyres? Otherwise I don't see any problem.

Do you want more wear, or more miles?!
