RE: Avon Venom?
I've run them before, and will again. They seem to be the stickiest tire out of the three most-used brands (Dunlop, Metzler and Avon), but also seem to use a slightly softer compound than the others, which means they wear out a little quicker. You'll love the ride.

RE: Avon Venom?
I prefer the Dunlops. I had a Venom rear once and was glad I never had to find out how it would handle a long ride in the rain, being as it's virtually a slick. It didn't ride or handle any better. Plus when it wears out, it wears out fast at the end.
