Avon Venoms here, fitted them a few weeks ago and they're a vast improvement over the original Dunlops - I like them a lot. Not tried them out in the wet yet though, but seeing as I live in the UK that won't be long in coming!

The Avon Venoms are real good in the rain, too. Way better than the stock Dunlops.

Was that when you switched to chain drive? heheheheh
