I have Avon Azaro tires
Bought them knowing that grip, not mileage, is my number one priority for tires (on my bikes and my Miata)
I'm very happy with them
Only you know your priorities, every tire is a compromise, just pick your criteria and ride within the limits that imposes
+1. I would rather have the grip and pay for tires more often. I have a Vstar cruiser and the tires are one of my biggest complaint. No tire that fits it feels sticky enough to me to feel comfortable riding aggresively at all. Makes for a boring ride most of the time. I even looked for ST tires that would fit it and it wasn't happening. SO I too will take the grip over mileaage.
