Had the new Avon's put on

[roadwarrior]

I can finally feel good about my tires.As noted by others before they make the bike feel lighter.

[Squidley]

You will only get a better feel out of the the more you ride them...good on ya bud

You'll find also that you don't get the tracking when you run over long cracks in the road which try to send you off course. At least I found that.

The only tire I will ever put on my bikes, both of them have Avons, and thats all they will ever have regardless of the price......there is no substitute for safety and the confident feeling they give you.

The small shop where I take my bike is really upset with Metzler.He said that many Ultra riders are having the seperation and chunking problems as well.Metzler is recalling tires based on how the air pressure is intepreted not a defect and so far will not reimburse him for the removal and installation of the replacement tire.I think he will be switching to Avon as well.

I put one on the back of mine (front still stock brickstone), Best tire Iv'e ever rode. I found that the braking is more efficient. I locked the brick alot but not the Avon. cornres better and can't be beat on wet roads IMHO. Come spring I will change out the front. Can't seem to make me change out a tire thats not damaged or worn out. Even though I know it will be a vast improvement:thumbsup:

Just got my new Avons again. Tried everything out there and I won't use anything but the Avons now. Just can't find a better tire than the Venoms.

Herb, you're not far from me - unless you mount your own tires, just bring that sucker over here with some beer and we'll git 'er done for free.

 

And that is a standing offer for any VentureRider members! As a matter of fact, if anyone is planning long trips this summer and will be coming through Texas - if you need tires while on the road you might consider having them drop-shipped to me.

I need to write this down and put it with the sevice manual.

Hey Ponch, I didn't think Avon made white wall tires for the Venture... where did you get them and what is the product number???
