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.
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.
