I've tried the Dunlap, Metzeler, cheep Japanese and Battlax. I ride daily and because I'm in Hawaii get caught on wet roads about once a week. I'll only run Battlax tires. I'm conservative but like to lean into a corner every once in a while, I live up a mile long hill that can be allot of fun but 99% of my riding is commuting. I just put new front and rear tires on my bike - Friday. I went top an event at the Aloha stadium and it rained like crazy. I literally had less than 5 miles on two brand new tires and was stuck in a major downpour. The type of rain where you can only see about 100 feet in front of you and I'm on two brand new tires. I was really happy with how the bike felt and how solid it was. If you want that all around tire to do the 200-250 rides I'd go for the Battlax. My least favorite were the Dunlap's. My opinion - they just didn't stick to the road.
