I'm buying new tires and was wondering what everyone thinks of either metzeler m3's or dunlop qualifiers. Which tire do you think would last longer (get more mileage out of)???? I ride on the road only, no track. I am not an extremely aggressive rider but I do the occassional wheelie and sometimes get on some twisty roads. I am looking for a good value. I want a tire that will last.

 

I wouldn't necessarily get a full on sport tire if you don't have to. I had a set of Sport Touring Avon ST45&46 on my 929 & they last forever. Lever lost grip from them, and the lean angle was just fine.

i had the dunlop 208s and the rear lasted me about 4500miles. i have the pilot powers now and they are soposed to last longer.
