I noticed today that the front Metz is getting a little thin (9000 miles) so the hunt for a new tire begins.

My riding style fits the touring mode. Is a V rated front tire absolutely necessary?

I'm considering the Dunlop 404 which is less than 1/2 the cost of the Metz but it is only H rated. Is this a valid replacement?

Also, next rear tire will be to the darkside, probably a Riken 225/55R16.

That Dunlop 404 works great! It will do any speed the rocket can get to!
