Avon Storms

And possibly the alignment if its out. I need to figure a good way of aligning mine up so wine wears correctly

I cant wait! From what you lot have written it will be like a different handling machine with these puppies on. It twitches like hell with the MEZ4's but it dosent help that i have never had a properly round tyre on the bike in the short time i have had it.

Dullsville is shaft drive, no aligning required.

I see, i'm not massively up on tourers so my appologies

Arrived this morning fitted and tested this afternoon and they make the SV seem like a different machine. 5 miles for a basic scrub in gradually getting faster on the corners and 35 miles later the chicken strips are nearly up to where the MEZ4's are. Awesome stuff and so confidence building and so much feel even for a relatively novice rider such as myself.

Just go out and buy some if you haven't ordered any already

To be fair, you could have fitted a pair of car tyres and it'd feel awesome after your Z4s, which weren't very good even before they were past their sell by date Storms are ace but they're not the only contenders.

Course they are.

joking

I watch this information with interest.

Got some storms today and i must admit they are great.

I never thought a tyre would make so much difference to my bike. On the way home, even though they haven't been run in the difference in grip and the way the bike handle was very noticable.

Hope they handle as well in the dry as i feel i will be having some fun in the sun this year.

In the dry they just make you push the bike so much harder

So Storms are THE choice of tire for an SV? I need to make a decision in the next week as to what my next tires will be.
