Avons are a little slightly more sticky than the Mets but I think if you check your air pressure weekly you will get more miles from the Mets.
We have been installing a lot of the E3's lately and have yet to anyone complain about them. I'm die hard Mets on my touring bike but think I will try the E3's when I need to change.
We do tend to see more dry rot or cracking in Avon tires more than others. They seem to be affected by the sun and weather more than other tires.
I switched to Metzlers over 30,000 miles ago and haven't looked back. the ME880 is a nice tire, good traction, good life.
I don't think Avon makes anything that will fit my bike...
Having owned Harleys since the 70s, when they came on Goodyears, I find I always go back to Avons. There was a time when Metzelers were even worst than the Goodyears and I haven't bothered with them since.
To research car/truck tires I use a site called tirerack.com. Is there something similar for motorcycles? They give fitment options, user reviews and "expert" road test reviews, something similar for bikes would be very helpful.
Stock Dunlops suck..Metzelers are way better...AVON Storms are the epitome of motorcycle tires as far as I am concerned....I am in SE TN...Benton...where are you located?...
I am in the Chattanooga area and thanks for the replies.
I am probably going to end up ordering from online, can you specify with any of the vendors for "fres tires"? or are you stuck with what they send?
