Default Avon AV52sp

in a word - great.
fitted the avons for my first trackday at cadwell. wore in really quickly (60 miles down to the track, then straight on). The bike felt a little flightier in a straight line, 'cos they have a triangular shape to them, meaning turn in is a lot quicker. some might not like it, i loved it. and the grip - they never once slid or threatened to let go. I also think they warmed up pretty quickly, compared to the last set i had (continentals i think)
the shape of the tyre also meant hundreds of motorway miles didn't square them off, they just rounded back to a more standard shape. must have had 6000 miles out of it.
they were the sportiest tyres i've had on yet, so i cant compare them to supercorsas or the like, but for (pretty) cheap track/road rubber, i'd go with them any time. hope this helps some people.
