I'm so happy with them too. Really really really pleased with the confidence they have given me.

Can't really Say Lou, but have 3,000 miles now on mine and they don't really show it at all, the t'bird isn't a light weight either, they put up a most impressive show when pushed on the Wantage road a week ago on the well damp roads.

Cheers Mark.

Sid Squid had a set on the SV thou. I believe he got very good mileage out of them.

They've stopped making azaros, the storms are their replacement. I've never tried the azaros but apparently the storms are better.

Round and Black on eBay still sell Azarros , I was going to bag one for my rear as I still have loads on the front Sportec M1 Tyre . Then when that was worn out I was going to get a pair of Storms fitted . I was round my mates yesterday and comparing the Azarros and the Storm tyres . The Azarro has more rubber on it whereas the Storms have a similar tread pattern but more treads ...... and damn are those tread patterns deep and a surprisingly light tyre for it`s size too .

I remember you really liked Azaros... How would you say they compare all round? (I never liked the Azaros but I'm tempted to try the storms next)

The Storm is a better tyre than the azarro, but I was getting 2k mls more out of an Azarro. I do 12/14k per year so tyres are a big part of my budget. I'd rather have the extra mls and work round the limits of the Azzaro.
