Subject: Re: AVON Tyres
I have never used Avon tires myself, I got some advice from a friend of mine
not to buy them. They are quite much cheaper than i.e. Metzler or Michelin,
and as I understood it, there is a reason... The Avons get worn much faster,
and road qualities are poorer as well.
My tip of the day: Go for Michelin T66 or Metzler Enduro 4. A bit more
expensive, but by far better and probably more economic in the long run than
cheaper tires.
Tires are the bike's shoes, and you don't want to run in slippers, do you..?
