Avon Spirit ST - Anyone?

[Andre]

Heard good things about the Avon Spirit ST. Anyone got experience with this tire on the 14?

[Blubber]

Thought I would answer this to keep your topic in sight

If we're gonna talk tyres, someone should put a good word in for Maxxis

[seth]

sorry col
i would never put maxxis tyres on my bike .
i have riden a 1250 bandit with them on in the wet and that was enough for me to say never again .
they seamed ok in the dry

That's odd then, they work quite good on my forklift!      Thought someone might stick up for them - won't be me though!

[Sweaty]

No, but im exactly the same as Seth. Have mt first set of Pirelli angel gt's on & will be staying with these from here on. Big difference.

  Pirelli Angel GT "A", up-spec'd version for heavier bikes with heavier blokes LMAO I also use Metzler O Spec on my BMW RT.
Pirelli gives good feedback in dry or wet and seem to last for long mileage IMO.

Had a bad experience with Avons on my Pan Euro so now a bit distrustful of them.
Been running Michelin Pilot Road 2s on the 14 for years now with great results, very happy with them.
Tried the Pilot Road 4 on a 1250GT Bandit and they were good too
Pan now has Battlax BT023, the GT version and I am very impressed with them.

I think it is tough to find a bad tyre nowadays but they do keep developing and getting better usually.

pirelli, i wrote to italy, said just normal angel gt for 14. never a prob. with mine, new set very close. pr2 to angel is a big difference. grip is same, straight line, tram tracking etc is a major improvement. nearly 20 th ks on angels, pr2 did 15.

Yes I have a set on my k7 have used storms for years the new spirits are great wet and dry they have guickend up the steering but give a very neutral feel though the bar's love them
