New Avons arrived

[camos]

Also just paid my subscription for the year and it cost 12.09 Canadian verses 12.00 American. Not sure if taxes are involved or not.

PayPal fee?

Friend of mine gave me an Avon rear tire off of his RSV that was almost new, he bought the bike and put white walls on right away. Now I'm thinking of not using it with all this cracking issue.

Any suggestions on the best tire now? I currently have Dunlops that came on the bike new.

I'd take the Avon if you're not going to use it.

So... let me see if I get this straight....

Metzler's chunk (loose pieces of rubber)

Avon's crack

Dunlop E3's.... ?

Dunlop 404's not beefy enough

 

(read somewhere that E3's not so good in wet - is this true?)

 

 

I went back to metzler my Avons cracked and I never had a problem with Metzler chunking off pieces and I really liked how the me 880's handled in the rain, but thats my

:2cents:

I went to Pirelli's. After the third set cracked that was it for me.

 

 

Hey Buddy;

How do you like the Pirellis? My rear Venom is cracking in the middle of the tread. I have been shopping around and found MT66 Pirelli for about $50 less than the Avons.

Thanks;

Don

The Pirelli Route 66s are a low-mileage tire. The bike shop next to me sells a lot of them, and people are starting to find out why he pushes to sell so many. They don't last long, and they have to buy another one soon. I tried a couple of them on my 850, and they were junk.

Thanks Monty, I will probably go back to the Venoms.
