Default Getting close to tire time again

Ok, Guys and of course the hot Gals on this site....
I'm getting close to needing tires again....
Has anyone here have any experience with Dunlop K591....I was thinking about the new elite III with the dual rubber compound, but they dont come in my size....
So any feed back on the K591 would be appreciated....
Thanks.

I would go with metzlers (me 880's) handle better, last longer and alot better in the rain. Or Pirelli night dragons if you like to push your bike hard in the twisty's. Cant say I would recommend the Dunlops, the rear wears pretty fast and Ive always has problems with the front cupping and being buzzy around curves.I do have Dunlops on my bike now and cant wait to wear them out to get something different on there.

My buddy just replaced his Metz with the Pirelli NDs and absolutely loves them, says they feel like riding a sport bike when you want the handling, not sure about life yet though.

Metzler ME880's are a noticeable improvement over the stock Dunlop's.

I have always got good life out of the Dunlops. I get over 10k out of the rears and the fronts have gone longer.

I just went to my local dealer and tried to order a metzler 180 for my SB, and the parts guy could not find one available. He found a 170, but not the 180. Any one have any part numbers or the actual tire number for a 180?
