Tyres Oh Tyres












Well the Avon Storm 2 Ultras have been very nice to ride on. plenty of grip and feel and i recon the best in the wet out of Mich Pilot road 2's and Dunlop Roadsmarts. The rear tyre has done 8000 Miles and is now starting to flatten on the top, but the front has done about 1000-1500ish miles less and is on the wear limiters in the middle and half way around the tyre. Also i have noticed that when at just the right speeds that the way the tread has worn makes the bars vibrate quit bad these speeds are when very slow,about 40-50mph and 90-100mph at 120 the vibration is so bad it makes my eyes shake and i cant see anything. I have noticed that with these tyres i dont seem to get to the edge on the front but the back has nearly no chicken strips either side. So what to do now i need more tyres. Go back to PR'2 which last well but dont perform quit as well for me or give avon a 2nd chance?
PS i know i said there was next to no chicken strips on the rear and the picture makes it look like ive never been around a corner, its because its crappy weather lately so the edges that dont get used get dirty. i was below the word Storm on the edge of the treads in the summer.
