(1/2) > >>

Hi
Thought I'd treat my bike to a new set of tyres for summer ,I have roadrunner on it at have ordered some road riders  from tyre tec at £142 for the pair
I've been waiting for about 3 weeks now as Avon are having problems with the tread cracking on them 120/90/18
I've spoken to the company today and the chap on the phone said he would contact them ASAP and get the lowdown ,just don't want to be messed about if they are available .
I like the look of the tyre but anyone have a good idea for an alternative just in case I can't get them

Cheers

Amos

Avon sm mk2m 4.00 18  rear tye worked well with avon roadrunner front on my cb550 and my bmw r80rt, I really inpressed my mate with the bmw's ability to lean over at a crazy angle going round roundabouts with him on the pillion, about the only time he had anything nice to say about the bmw, yes, it's ugly and I prefer my Honda but it is hard to knock the handling and the Avon tyres were excellent on it.

when we were younger we used to take the piss out of avon "square deaths" as the were affectionatley known but they are a hard wearing and grippy tyre  ;) cheers Mick.

Avon Square Masters and Dunlop K70's were much of a muchness when it was pre unit Triumphs but nowadays  it is Metzelers or Continentals
