I'm running the Avon Cobra 250. I've had the Metz 240, 260 and the Dunlop Elite lll 240, 250 and the Avon 240, 250 on a couple of previous bikes.
The Avon is every bit as good as the others in warm to hot weather. I got caught in a huge rain storm Friday while on my way home from work and the Avons didn't slip or slide at all. I obviously didn't push it hard but I didn't drive at a crawl either. I was able to keep up with traffic on the Interstate.
Wear wise my experience is that the Avon's mileage is a little bit better than the Dunlop and quite a bit better than the Metz.
It's grip and handling is excellent!
Where the Metz falls behind is when the temperatures start falling. It's grip decreases compared to the other two.
Obviously that won't be a factor to those of you have minimal climate changes.
Hope this info helps.

I'm still running the stock tire but almost at 4000 miles so it's time to change it. I have been reading this posts and looks like to most common options are Metz 260 and the Dunlop Elite lll 250, but any suggestion on which one should I go with. I live in Houston, TX so extreme cold will not be an issue but cannot say the same about extreme heat

Thanks!, I actually got the Dunlop Rear Elite 3 250/40VR-18 Blackwall Tire from Denniskirk for 162.88 so will see how it goes. Now time to find a good tech to install, will try to avoid the dealer due to the price...
