I ordered 2 new tires today from Jake Wilson. Dunlop e-3s   in 180r70 16 and 130r7018  the rear was $182.99 frount was 135.99 . I checked with Discount tire pasadena and Honda of Houston which usually has the best price around here and they were $ 208. and $145! I figure the savings between the two along with saving sales tax and romoving the wheels myself , I will save nearly $100!

Where did you get them?  Jake wilson?

 jakewilson.com    I think there maybe a price increase that they haven't taken yet.

They have all kinds of tires?  What do you think of Metzler Tires?  Or what is a good tire?  Something that makes my rear end look bigger...

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.

Well for me, I live work and play in the city.  And my vtx is my only ride.  So I do a lot of city riding.  But I also do a lot of cruising in the outer city.  Got any advice on better tires?
