Avon Storms.

I posted here a while back asking about tyres with a good combination
of grip and wear for a K1 Bandit 1200.

Azaros were suggested and, to me, they seemed exactly what I was
looking for and lasted me well over 6k miles for the rear.

This time I went for Storms (same thing apparently) and the rear has
worn almost to the wear indicators in one 3000 mile holiday. Now,
that's not a major problem in itself, it was a pretty intense 3000
miles, all twistie, on/off throttle etc.

However looking around, some people on 'the internet' seem to rate the
old Bridgestone 020's more highly than the Azaros/Storms.

So have things changed in the last 12 months or so? Are Azaros/Storms
still UKRMs choice for the best rubber for the gentleman who wants
good tyre life and is prepared to compromise a *little* on grip.

 

I have moved over to Michelin Pilot Road 2s and love them on the
Daytona. 3500 grippy miles and they're hardly worn. They are very
confidence inspiring in the wet too.

 

From the header, I thought this was another weather thread.
