Avons, any good.

OK, as I'm soon due to replace the tyres on the bike, I was thinking of buying Avons, purely based on the fact that they're made in Wiltshire. I.e. why buy foreign, when you can buy British. In this time of sad job losses.

Unless someone says that they are total carp, I'll get them.

Seem to be either of these?

The Storms are fantastic - an absolute revelation.You will never get anywhere near the limits of grip in the dry and they are superb in the wet.
Buy them now.

I ride about 17000 per annum, I know it's like asking, "How long is a piece of string" but how well do they wear?

As an indication of my riding"style " my current B020 is about to need renewal after 7500 miles.

I can vouch for the grip, as I had them on the Fazer 600 that went to stoph and M40man and it always felt confident in any conditions.

All the feedback I've heard says that they last at least as long as BT020's on the back (and don't square off as much).

Thanks for the info.

Last week, M&P had a bargain sale for Avons
