Was talking to these guys at the manchester show about me getting some avon storms.
They said about £160 fitted, ride in ride out. Does that sound a good price ![]() Has anyone used this company before and are they any good. Are the storms the best tyres to get ?? I ride to work nearly every day, so need ones that are good in the wet as well as great in the dry. |

I'm on my third set from them (had avon storms on my old 650). Very highly recommend by me and a few other in here.
I'm using Michelin Pilot Road 2CT's on the thou at the mo and getting very good milage so far (usually get around 4000-5000 miles out a rear), on a bout 5500mile and still a good shape to them. i've never shopped around on price because they are a good set of lads who always sort me out when i need them and they are only 10-15mins away from me! You will get nothing but praise in this thread! |

After moving to the area I got recommended these guys (at Farnworth) - for the Avon Storms I was quoted £160 to loose wheels, or £180 on the bike.
I took them in one day with no notice I got them back the following day as they didn't have a pair in stock. Seemed a decent place. Not sure if the Storms are the best ones to get for commuting yet, as I've only done 50 miles on them so far ![]() |

£160 is good for riding in and out.
Storms are a bladdy good tyre. Yc commutes to and from Leeds avery day, and hes had a fair few sets now. I love mine, the SV does ballet on them ![]() I don;t ride as far to work as some, but i have to go at silly o clock in the morning at this time of year and they are vey reliable. Plus if you get a puncture in them within the garantee boundaries you can get a new tyre for free from Avon

put it over your head like a hula hoop?
Either that or get some rags and bungee it to your rails underneath the bike and that should work fine for getting home |
