I'm on avons now. Compared to the previous tyres I've had (stock mezlers and some diablos) I think these are great. I got on my bike after the crash, these were brand new, and they gave me so much confidence, a great tyre I think.

Got a second set fitted on the T'bird myself a few weeks back, well good enough at high speeds (120 or so) as well as any weather conditions



Cheers Mark.

got them fitted and whilst only rode home from the garage, handling has been totally transformed. Presumably the others were squared off as the steering is much quicker and doesnt squirm over white lines etc. Took it very slowly as mechanic put the fear of God into me re how slippy they were. Also had lowers and Hagon mono fitted. New bike in 2 hours!

I was gonna go for storms, but as I have been lumped with a bridgestone BT021 rear (not a bad thing actualy, but its all my dad could get hold of in a blind panic to get me a new rear tyre) I have to go with the same front.

Might get it fitted soon, my bike also handles like a bag of spanners. Or, as my dad likes to describe the handling of my machine, a common housebrick
