Depends on the type of riding that you do. If you want to "peg drag" thru the twisties, Ilike the Metz's. They are a softer rubber for better grab and I really liked the way they handle but they didn't last for me. I do more touring type of riding so I went with the Dunlop Elite -3's. They are a radial touring tire and have lasted a lot longer for me. I still run stock size so I can't comment on a good tire to make you rear look bigger.
