at 12,000 i was in the middle of the ocala national forest headed south out of jacksonville and couldn't find a dealer. and yes, a burn out was the last thing i did before i replaced the tire.

I normally get between 14000 and 15000 on my rear Avon, mostly 2up

My Avon didn't look anywhere near that Good at 5,700 miles. The cords were showing in several places...

Dan thats the difference between the 1200 vs 1300. Wv twisties and a good right hand bring out the best of those 1200's. I got 5K out of my dunlop?

I usely get 22,000 to 26,000 on frt and R on my 2nd gen ven with avon. My wife just replaced her avons with new ones and she got 24,000 on frt and R. I put 36psi in front and 41psi in rear.She rides a 2000 nomad.

Thanks for the Photo's, looks like almost 1/2 inch thick caseing, and 5 ply's of cord. I am estimateing that the visable side tread in the photo, seems to be 1/4 inch.

So, thats about same as the Dunlop " Elite II " Rear that I cut open. That makes me feel better about the Avon, Rear.

 

The Front is the one I am concerned about here. My front, at 8K, and virtually NO measurable wear. The stone went thru the " Full " Tread width, and the caseing.

 

Anybody have a " Front " to cut open ??

 

I will cross section mine when I get it off.

 

Thanks for the photo's

I pulled the Avon Venom off the Front yesterday, the one the Stone punched a hole in.

 

Here is a cross section view.

I measure 5/16 inch thick, Caseing, AFTER, the Tread is worn smooth.

One thing I am noticing in these photos......All that wear and the rubber is still intact!!!! Hey Metzeler..you guys paying attention???

My first set of Avon's I received yesterday !

[hig4s]

Gawd, I can't believe when I saw the pics of the new Avons I actually thought "Oh, sweet"

 

And I don't even need tires yet.

My first set of Avon's I received yesterday !

Ive run one set of Avons and wore em out,had to put metz 880s on(All I could get at that moment and in a hurry)..only 1700 miles and they started coming apart,bought another set of Avons and that is what I wil buy as long as I can ride..UNBELIEVABLE handling difference.

Ordered my Avons today, went with the slimmer front tire:cool10:
