Ok, I know I should've paid attention from earlier posts. But, the time has come to purchase new tires. What is the best bang for the $? I've heard that Metzler Marathons are good as well as Avons (can't remember the model name). Interested in opinions and sizes. Want similiar size as a stock Bridgestone rear, or a bit wider, and as big as possible up front. I've changed the front fender to a Honda shadow and currently have a Dunlop 120/90 up front. I'd like to go bigger up front if possible? Oh, by-the-way, I'll never buy Dunlops again. I bought the front only 10 months ago, still has plenty of tread, but the sidewalls are already cracking! I'd take it back, but I bought it 2,600 miles away from here. The roads here on the Texas Gulf Coast are boring and straight, so I don't need really sticky (as in wears out quickly) tires. All opinions much appreciated. H.P.
