I was not able to find anything that would fit the 09 SEUC other than the Dunlop. Do you have part numbers or sizes on the Metzeler 880's you put on yours?

the Metzlers I used ME880 130/70VR17 front, ME880 180/70HR16 rear.

No problems with switching from 130/80 to 130/70 on front and 180/65 to 180/70 on the rear? It's got to change the accuracy of the speedometer in opposite directions...too fast for one tire and too slow for the other, but they should still make it fairly close. It sounds like there is no noticeable problems though.

The minimal difference in tire height is unnoticeable when riding. I like the ride of the Metzlers better than the Dunlops, just feels smoother, especially riding on the two lane backroads. This could be because the Metzlers are radials and the Dunlops bias ply tires. As far as speedo accuracy goes that never was a concern of mine. Too small a difference to worry about.
