I would like to offer my 2 cents... Try out the Kenda Kruz! I'm getting great wear mileage and excellent wet or dry traction, and the price can't be beat! I have run Bridgestones, Dunlops and Metzelers before the Kendas and IMHO the Kendas are an excellent tire. 
So much for the avon/dunlop combo as I purchased what was readily available on the local market. I bought a rear 880. The last 880 on Cinnamon Girl lasted 18,427 miles. I thought I wanted to change out the front spitfire right away to anything else, but...
...as of the 'just scuffed in mark of 55 miles' I think the front spitfire is staying on till it shows signs of the englishyankee syndrome. With the replacement of the worn rear with the new 880, the tiptoeing is gone. Could it have been the rear tire after all? hum...
Certain installs have dramatic effects on handling and noise. One is a new chain kit. Another is new tire(s). omg. No more paint line snatching, nor uneven road upsets. I almost forgot how effortlessly the metz 880 responds to leans. Yup, I am back with the brazilian metz.
And least I forget, how many miles do you have on the Kenda Kruz? I prefer tires that last longer than 7 months/10,000 miles no matter the $$$ savings. Did I mention what a PITA inner tube 90 degree valve stems are?
