I really did like those Avon tires. They did an excellent job on the road and in the rain. Had I not been in the situation I was, I most likely would have stayed with them. I'll be paying attention to the dunlops to see how they handle and last. Have a nice tread pattern. Have to see how they handle the rain. Dealer said they are an excellent all weather tire.

I had no trouble finding Dunlop 491's this year, though I thought they were discontinued. I got over 20,000 miles on the last rear (MU90-16), and 26,000 on the MM90-19 front. I tried an Avon Venom rear once and got 15K, but it was showing the cord at that point. Plus, I do not believe that tire can be good in the rain, with its racing slick surface down the middle. I don't recall riding in heavy rain with it, but I slowed way down whenever it rained. Don't like the japanese tread pattern's looks either.
