Metzler Tires

Picked up my bike today from the dealer today after a 12K service and new rear tire. I had asked if they could install the same Metzler it had from the factory... "yes, we have those in stock". But when I check the new rear tire it's a Metzler Lazertec.

My '06 still has the original front tire, which is a Lazertec. But it did have a different Metzler (ME-Z2, I think) on the rear... that's what I thought I was getting. I would prefer a new rear tire just like the original... and that's why I specifically asked for it.

I'm a little perturbed that they didn't let me know it was a different model than the original rear. I'll probably just keep it and not raise a stink, but I kinda think the tread pattern looks a little like a truck tire, compared to the ME-Z2 that I liked so much.

Here's a pic of the Lazertec tires, front and rear.

1) What do you think about the rear tire tread pattern?

2) What do you think I should do, or what would you do?
