I've got a Dunlop on the rear and and a Metz on the front. The bike doesn't know the difference and I can't tell any difference from when I had Metzler on the rear also.

I run Metz ME880s, real nice tire. I would recommend both due to they have different tread patterns which you'll notice a handling difference on grated or uneven road surfaces. Smooth roads it'll ride fine.

No worries running the Dumlop until you replace it. You will just wish you switched it earlier. ME880 is great in the rain also.
