dont know a whole lot about these tires, but I can say that I have friends that use them and love them. They all ride 2 up and have never had a problem... good luck with your choice!

Just to finish the posting....
I went with the stock Dunlop replacement.
Next time I will try the Metzlers when I replace both tires.

If you guys are worried about a flat tire why not put Ride-On sealant in them.If the Manufacturer says "NO" and the law in some States forbids their use for normal riding,why risk?

Get a buddy to try it and see if he finds the same. If so, replace the tire, sounds like its not good thing to be on.
