Avon storms millage
 

Sorry if this has already been covered but couldnt find it

was wondering what people have got out of a set fo storms on the sv

i had a set fitted this time last year a loved them. but after a year of using the bike for work my set have just gone on the illgeal side lol

so would be intresting to see what others have got from there storms?? to see if i did well

Re: Avon storms millage
 

How many miles did you do in that year?
I had a set of dunlops that only lasted me a few months, but I'd done 5k miles on them...
My first storm did 5k and still had plenty of life in the rear but I've just swapped it was squaring. reckon I woulda got 6k out of it.

Put a pair of storms on the SVS, 6500 so far, looks like the back is begining to square a bit, so not sure how much longer it will be before new stickie stuff its required.

We MIGHT tell you if you tell us!
as Dave20046 says.

Re: Avon storms millage
 

opps fail on my side lol

the bike come of the road this week and working it all out i got 12k miles form them

the back did square off but i put that down to the trip i used to work was 90% motorways

the back is right on its limit in the center but the outer has loads left

where as the front is knida even all round

Re: Avon storms millage
 

approx 9k on my current stoms ( not motorway miles)

Rear is down to wear markers & front is worn even more , which is strange as normally rear wears quicker than front .

Will change as soon as I get paid , probably another set of storms as they have given me the best mileage so far closley followed by Pirelli Diablo stradas

cheers Steve

Re: Avon storms millage
 

Good mileage there. I have chewed through a rear in as little as 4.5K miles, although 6K miles seems about average for me on the VFR.

Re: Avon storms millage
 

I've been pleased esp since I have slow puncture on rear tyre since 5k and has been ran at lower than normal pressures at times , also I'm 16 stone

Recon I could have got 10 k

Cheers Steveg

That`s good going that to get that Steve , I get around 6k out of mine and they get a hard life . I have had other tyres on the SV that didn`t last 3.5k and felt very dodgy . Storms are planted , predictable in their nature , give good feedback and feel safe and you get more mileage out of them than other softer tyres .

Re: Avon storms millage
 

I'd be happy to get a few thousand miles out of my storms, but they usually get punctured before they're worn out :-(
I've had all four tyres on both bikes get nasty nails in them.
