Avon Venom will last a long time and provide good grip to boot plus it will mate very well with your Roadrider.
How much mileage can I expect on the Venom? Also, if I do get a Venom rear, should I get the H or V rated? The Roadrider front is V-rated. Does this even matter?
Looking on the Motorcycle Superstore website, the closest Venom front size to my stock 110/80-18 is either a 100/90-18 or a 120/90-18. Would either fit on the front of my Concours, and if yes, how would it affect handling and speedo/tach readout?
Also, the Metzeler 880s seem to get very high mileage, but horrible reviews on traction, especially in the wet. Are they REALLY that bad? 15-20k tread life sounds so enticing...
