New tires Rock

[wastedincome420]

I fuggin love the new tires I just got on my bike. I spent a while trying to decide which tires to buy cause of the odd size's my bike uses ( 16" front & 18" rear).
I dont have many miles on em yet but so far so good. I still gots a lil scrubbin in to do.
I suppose any NEW rubber would be better then the old ones which came on the bike when I bought it. I had a wobble when I took but hands off and was considering a steering damper, but with the new rubber that has gone away

Avon Azaro's (ST45)

[stoinkythepig]

I know lots of folks who like them (45/46) for sport touring. May try a set on my 9R next year.

Ya RandyO helped convince me to give em a try. He had a set on his SV and got awesome milage out of them, and raved about there handling

I recently replaced the Michelin Pilot Sports on the Duc. I went down from a 190 rear to a 180. Bike turns in much better and seems to go better thru the turns with less work. The shop suggested it, and it works. Something to think of when you are going for new sneakers

Just don't be like me and try to scrub 'em in on a 40 degree morning at a trackday. Bloody Diablos were slippery even during the follow the leader session

Have you tried the Avon's in the wet yet.. there is a set on my Bandit (came with it) with not many miles on them. the rear tire is all over the place in the wet... here is a shot of what it looks like..

my personal best time thru Deaps Gap is with Azaro's in the wet, I have found no problem with them in wet, they slip & slide on wet paint, steel, & tar snakes like every other tire. however they still don't compare to the Avon Distanzia or Pirelli MTR60 or Avon Gripster as a wet tire.

OMG: I havent had a chance to wet test em yet...I'm sure I'll find out how they are soon. It appears that the Avon's you have are of a different model then what I gots.
