Tyres

Haha look arguing semantics here really isn't useful, Jon just go easy out there for a bit!!

It's called CYA, cover your ass, after 100 miles there should be no doubt the tyres are good for riding, just the garages and tyre companies making sure they don't get sued.

i do one 2 minute burnout and then 2 donuts they are scrubbed in within 4 mins

Ride in Ride out all fitted for 203. From the posts that I read above it would seem that I could have got them cheaper from the guy, but to be fair he stayed late to get my tyres fitted and did a great job with them so I don't feel ripped off.

I have been riding on the Avon Storm ST tyres all winter and so far they seem to get the job done.

soon as we get really warm weather I will probably change them out as I am told they dont survive hot weather well

They are specifically a wet weather type tyre and they do warm up quite quickly. Would stand to reason that they'll wear quite quickly in conditions other than cold/wet.

Reason why I only fit them to the Deauville winter barge.

According to the guy that fits my tyres, Gary from G&S Tyres, they are fine in the hot weather. He says they last about the same as the BT021's do through summer. We shall see in the coming months but I've been on a few brisk rides and they seem to work fine so far.

Ah well, they are also advertised as endurance tyres. If they only last as long (on average) as 021's, I wouldn't class that as a long life tyre. This leads me to think that warm dry tarmac is going to eat them quite quickly.

021s are meant to be sports touring tyres, so shouldn't wear out too quickly. Though, frankly, I regard anything more than 2000 miles from a set as a long life.
