Never heard of Avon tires before, but it seems that they have good reviews. Either way, Motorcycle Superstore has what could be a good sale on some models now.

Avon just came out with 3 new styles of sportbike tires - the 3D Ultra Sport, The 3D Ultra Supersport and the 3D Ultra Extreme.

The street oriented 3D Ultra Sport is going for $130 for a set with free shipping

As I said no idea if they are good or not (someone may chime in with more info on them) but reviews look favorable

If the reviews are favourable and the price is very good - I'd say get the tires.

I'm running Avon Distanzias on my bike now, and they've been very good. As for the tires you've mentioned, I doubt you'll get nearly as much wear life out of them as you would Michelin Pilot Road 3s, but you should be able to get 8-10k's out of the Avons with better feel. Overall a good value at the sale price. :2cents

Had an Avon Roadwinner on my 250, it got around 17k km when I sold the bike and it was still holding together with an acceptable level of tread and no flat spots. Didn't slip n slide around in the rain and handled being pushed to the bikes limits fine.

But again, it was a 250 so ymmv.

I prefer to give local shops my business by chucking my bike down the road.

I had the Avon storms... They were ok, great if you are a casual rider, but if you really want to thrash them not all that confidence inspiring.

But none of these tires are the storm, so this review is fucking meaningless.
