Avon AV54 Trail Riders going on tomorrow front and rear. the original tires have about 6500 miles on them. I could push for a a few more mile, but it isn't worth it.
Thanks for all the interesting posts that kept me in analysis paralysis for so long while trying to pick a new tire.
1) I almost went for the Bridgestone AV40 since my experience with the origianl equiment BW tires was good. I just wished they lasted a little longer. I have never had a tire last 6500 miles before, but with K60 reports of over 13K miles, 6500 seems low (analysis paralysis).
2) I didn't want K60s because I use this for daily rider on pavement. I would like to go someplace where I could play with TC off, but it has not been convenient. K60 owners seem to say "be careful on wet pavement." More than I am already?
3) There were some value tires that seemed like a good choice, but I can't believe that shinko 805s would be comfortable for this old guy even if they go 10K miles.
4) The family that tours the world and has Avon sponsorship says these tires will out perform any tire in any situation. We'll see. Wish I had a sponsor ship. Anyhow these tires look like they'll be good on the asphault and maybe a tad better that Battlewings if I ever find some dirt.
