Avon AM-26 initial impressions

[jim snyder]

Ok just installed the Avon AM-26 tires and even with only 25 miles on them I can honestly say I LIKE THEM !! The tread pattern is very nice, they are V rated bias. The ride is very stable (no marbles or riding on sand like some have experienced with the Avon radials) and turn in is quicker than the Pilot GT's I was running. I will be putting a couple hundred miles on next weekend and I will update my report then. But so far I am very impressed.

I honestly think you will come to call them the best stock sized tires there are for our bikes.

Jim, I'm on my second set and like em too. I still only get about 5K out of em, but that's all I get out of most tires. I totally agree on the Azaro dance. It's so interesting that some bikes get it and some don't, but mine sure did.

Yeah, yeah, I know you told me so.

They are ony going to get better with the miles. Until they start getting worse that is.

Really, Jim...

Really, Jim...
 

Yeah, imagine that, went from a heavier tire to a lighter tire (and smaller too) and it turns quicker.
  Whodathunkit.

Seriously, I'm glad you like them!  Sounds like they put a smile on your face!  And, isn't that why we ride?
