      I'm going to make a recommendation here, based on experience. I ran the Metzeler Marathons on everything I owned since about 1984, and before that, the Metzeler ME-77 Perfect. I used to have faith in Dunlop. but I learned my lesson. I put on a set of Michelin Commander IIs last August, and now they have almost 12,000 on them and show very little wear. The rear is down 3/32 and the front, 1/32. At this wear rate, they should last about 20,000...and they were CHEAPER than the Metzelers by about $100 for the set. When it comes time to replace the pair, I would definitely look into these...I never expected to say this about a Michelin....I looked 1 place, Dennis Kirk, and the current price for a matched pair in your size is $270.....

Didn't used to matter at all, but they have become quite specialized over the years. I ran Dunlop K-291s on both ends of my E-Glide, but that was before you were born. Matched tires perform the best, but I think it would be even more important not to mix construction types, or a new tire on one end with an overly worn tire on the other..what did you have in mind...and don't say a car tire!!!!!!

Is it bad to use two different brands of tires on your bike? Is there any effect if having different threads?
