[wichet]

Hi looking at getting a 200 size rear, i have been looking through some of the post's and was wondering which is best the bt014 the metz M1 or the D208's. Looking for a lot of grip not to bothered about how long it lasts just as long it keeps me stuck to the road.

Any advice before i make a purchase.

I had D208s on my previous ride, they were pretty nice I cant speak for the other tires.

I just installed the Avon St Storm in a 200/50 rear size. The fitment is perfect and they handle perfectly well.

D208 Dunlop, They stick real well and are great if caught in the rain.

I had an Avon ST and I did a lot of touring on it they do handlle fairly well I did notice that the 190 profile is a fair bit wider and measures 200 anyway. The only problem you may find Especially in the UK where we tend to use huggers more is with a 200 tyre may not fit into the hugger it was very tight with the 190. Everyone has their own preference and some tyres dont work for some people.
