Opinion on upgraded Metzler tire size for rear?

I have the Metzlers front and rear on my 1600. (Bias ply on the front, radial on the rear.) As noted above, the larger tire helps correct the speedometer. Yes they do sing a bit in the corners, but I think they hold a line much better than the OEM tires. I have 11,000 miles on them and expect to get 2,000-3,000 more on the rear. I plan to replace them in kind.
