Default Avon reviews?
Hey guys i'm about to change my front tire and was considering avons since they are stickier and better for cornering and hard riding style. I'm asking you dynas guys your opinion on those tire, how much kilometer have you done with them and do you recommend them ? If it's possible can you compare them to the stock dunlops.

I got 12,000 miles out of the dunlop and 9,000 on the avon. On my second set of avon's now and like them better for handling.

I run the stock dunlop in the front and an Avon Cobra in the rear. Just had to replace the rear at 10,000 miles.

I loved my Avons. Last tire change i switched to metzler ME 880 thinking I would get more mileage. As it turned out, I got more or less the same mileage and a healthy dose of the heebee jeebies from the Metzlers.
Switching back to Avons in a week or two now i've worn out the rear metzler.

I have a Cobra on front and Storm II on rear. I realy like them. I am going with a Cobra 190/60-17 on rear next time. I like a big rear tire look.
