Avon Venom Tires
I switched to Avon Venom Tires about a year ago and have been very happy with them. In Florida there are not a lot of curves but the tires have been good wet or dry. I just got back from 2 weeks in the Smokies where I was caught in several rain storms as well as dry conditions and let me tell you I am in love with these tires all over again, in the curves and mountains these tires stuck like glue to the payment regardless of the condition and never missed a beat, in the rain they were very solid, I run wide white walls so I didn't have a lot of choices and was sick of the Dunlop E2 that came on the bike so I gave them and try and feel like I made a solid decision

I'm not to sure about mine. I have felt the rear one break loose on a few occasions in the mountain twisties here in AZ. Coming to hard stops, the rear one slides pretty easy too. I tend to be more cautious in the rain now.

I have Avon Venoms on my 04 EGC and LOVE them!!!! I am on my 3rd rear and 1 front and would not put anything else on the bike. I get about 9K on them while hauling sometimes 2 up and trailer. I keep the air up at 38-40. Never over. Too stiff.

I think the wear has to do with tire pressure, I was told you have to runn 3-5 lbs. more than the Dunlops, I don't have enough miles to comment on the wear issue yet but performance is top rate for me
