HEY HEY HEY!!!BG...ya left the Stradas out...WTF?????????????Best tires I've ever used.Angels were second...but didn't last like they were advertised.Pilot Power 2CT...WAY SHORT tire life....and didn't feel secure for me anyway.Went with a Strada rear again this time...and a Rosso front.The Rosso....hmmmm....not very impressed.Though it is holdin up pretty good.I think my best combo will be(next time)...the Strada rear,Angel ST front.I got THE BEST feedback and handling with the Angel Front on there before.Very nice tire.The back Angel didn't fare so well.Certainly didn't get anywhere NEAR the mileage of what they touted as being the shining star of their new tire product.But still....VERY NICE feel front and back with those on there.Extremely smooth running and stable.IF they had more life to em...I would definitely keep using em.Stradas are VERY VERY close though in performance.

Avon Storm ST has been the best that I have tried ... by a long way. Great mileage, good grip in wet or dry and it made my bike feel 10% lighter in the way that it handles. I see that the new Avon Storm 2 Ultra is an evolution of the Storm ST, with dual compound and a claimed 12% extra mileage. Sold - I'll take them.

Just bought an 023 but haven't fitted it yet. Will be a while before I can comment. 021 has worked well for me.

avon storms 3000+ miles on em so far and they still look new

ya left the Stradas out

Yeah. I just pulled all the tires out of the current MotoSport catalog. I figured some good ones would be missing. I'll look back at the last poll and pull in the ones that got several votes. Thanks. -bg

It's cool...I think I'm actually about the only rider around that uses Stradas.Never really heard much of anything on other forums(when I would just browse)about anyone using em.Those storms there...they sound pretty cool.

Avon Storms, for me, last rear gave me 11500 miles!

hay guys avon storm ultra 2 great tire got around 800 miles on them , never felt them slip and have been way over on them. Bike transitions from side to side with ease feels like a lot lighter bike handles the power in a straight line also.

Storms for me, last front lasted 11000+ change, rear I get 5000+ on my 4th rear and have 18000 on him now
B-A

I have had the BT023's on for over a 1k kms... so far so good... sticky just like the sport bike tires and show no signs of wear... the rear tire still has remnensce of the nipples on the middle of the tread... on the 016's after 500km I cud see the grooves wearing down... Great tire, wud def recommend..

I think I'm really going to have to see that.
