Not the AVON lady!!

Post by Dandare2 »

Hi all,

I've just got a really good deal on some Avon AV35/36's.

Has anyone ever tried them and if so are they of any use :?:

I've got D204's on there at the moment and they're ok for me, although they don't exactly last :twisted: .

I would like 010's but not at the price they are :!:

Thanks

I have got the 012s (010 replacement)
After the 204s it made the Storm feel like a new bike.
I think the 204 are hard and don't grip now I have done 2k on the 012s

:lol: Yup i use AV35/36's last well, fair amount of grip, not had any scares with them at all, although they are not that good in the wet. Bloody cheap though 100 squid for 2 backs and 1 front :lol:

Avon Tryes

Post by fastfrank »

I bought the latest AV49/50 SP for £159 + fitting.

The rear only lasted 1900 miles and didn't include a track day.

I bought a second rear for £100 incl. fittting.

This one has just done a track day at Mallory and it let go around Gerrards. A high side was avoided with lots of flying legs but it has dented my confidence with the Avon.

I think the 010 is probably a better buy overall . they should last longer and inspire greater confidence :(

Cheap Avons

I ordered a 1 front and 1 rear off the internet from a well known tyre supplier (T*T), when the package arrived I recieved 2 rears and 1 front, only invoiced for £100.

Called them and they couldn't be bothered picking it up, there normal price for 3 is £169. maybe worth a try ordering 2 again.
