Avon road rider problems

<< < (2/2)

Waggles:
Am currently using Avon Squaremaster rear and Avon Speedmaster(!) ribbed front ( for extra pleasure ) and have no complaints, haven't done enough miles to really comment on life tho.

I have heard elsewhere that non ribbed front tyres can cause handling issues causing the bike to 'wander', have never had anything else ( even back in the day ) so can't really comment, but as I say, no complaints as yet.

Worth bearing in mind tho that if you are throttle happy a 750 is theoretically able to exceed the speed rating for these tyres ( I'm OK tho coz although the bike can, I most definitely can't  ;) )

UK Pete:
I have a pair of road riders on my F2, great tyres, i would recomend them

matthewmosse:
I've use the sm mk2 with lots of different tyres and they've been fine and given no issues regardless of riding style and they've always lasted well too. My use has covered winter riding as well as summer, and sidecar and solo use and they are good for sustained 70mph with a spare motorbike in the chair. I really rate them, though they do suffer a bit if power sliding a combo on a regular basis - not easy as they grip like the proverbial.

Thanks for all your info
shopped the world for a rear tyre Avon roadrider no luck,the web sites may say they have them but ooooooh no !!

gone for a set of Dunlop GT501 s seem to be in keeping with my bike and TyreTech sold them to me for the same price because of all my problems
