Avon Storm 2 Ultra

Got 7000 miles out these,gave good grip in the dry ok in the wet but I don't ride like loon in the wet . Front tyre wore out quicker than the rear with more wear on one side of the tyre than other which did seem a bit strange but can't grumble at 7000 miles

SHOULD NEVER BE PUT ON A HAYABUSA. SUNNY DAY TYRE WITH WARM ROADS ONLY. DONE ABOUT 1000 MILES IN MIXED WEATHER, SO LITTLE FEELING ON WET ROADS HAD TO BE RIDDEN STEADY . STILL HAD 3 ENTERTAINING MOMENTS . TAKING IT OFF TODAY!!
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS A SCOOTER THAT TAKES THIS TYRE SIZE YOU CAN HAVE IT. BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO SIGN A DISCLAIMER!

SV650 - Very happy with these and just about to go into my 3rd set. Ive had the older Avons, BrigeStones BT020 and 021s in the past and was not happy with the wear or progressivness. Very happy with the latest offering from Avon.
Last set had 9000 out of the rear, due to a frantic tour in France the latest one came in at 7000, not a bad average.

I'm on my 2nd set on my Hayabusa. I love them & so does she who must be obeyed. went to Poland and back, all sorts of road surface, wet & dry. Fantastic. The milage is good, 9000 miles from the back, nearly 12000 from the front

I tried the Avon Storm initially becuase I was dissappointed with the wear on Dunlop Roadsmarts. I have been riding with a Roadsmart on the fron and an Avon Storm on the back. Th Roadsmart performs in every category except mileage. The Avon Storm has provided 30% miles but was not quite as good as the Roadsmart in the wet. I have had the back break away a few times, but nothing that could not be controlled. However, since the sun arrived both tyres have performed brilliantly.

I have had many tyres on my VFR Vtec, I ride all year round, wet and dry. I have used many brands, always looking to balance grip and life. Other tyres I have used on the bike are:

BT020
BT021
Pilot Road
Pilot Sport
Pilot Road 2
Pilot 2ct
Conti Road attack.

sadly my "Buy British" attitude bit me this time and I have to say, in the wet these tyres are just not good enough. I have had the back break away under mild acceleration, they take ages (if ever) to get any heat into them and the front lacks feel when pushed in the dry. Its such a shame as the life of these tyres was looking good, but i would rather have the pilot road 2 over these any day despite the extra expense.

Come on Avon, please improve these, i want to buy British but your not making it easy for us.

i've just fitted these to my 900 blade. gotta say already i love them more than the battelax bt021. havn't evan scrubbed them in yet but they already offer more grip than the bt021's. power wheelies on damp roads no problem and that was on the way home from getting them fitted! 10/10 so far. gotta put a few miles on them yet b4 i start really pushing the lean angles. i have confidence in them already tho. i would never get the battelax over these!

Fitted to a BIG tRIUMPH tROPHY 1200 and used "Sportingly", these bueaties have lasted well and really inspire confidence.
Bit disappointed to get 5,000 miles out of teh front and shoed significant wear on just the one side, but the rear is still measuring 5mm after 5,000 miles so can'tcomplain really.

Fitted to a Honda ST1100 motorcycle. Good grip and seem to lasting quite well after 3000 miles.

Excellent tyres, especially on a sports 600.
Warm up quickly and grip brilliantly in both the wet and dry, had them on the edge in the wet loads of times now and they're so confidence inspiring.
There are other sport touring tyres out there that I'd like to try but for now these will be my first choice having tried the BT021 and rate the Avon Storm 2 Ultras much much higher in all respects so far.
