Avon Tires

**schoeney** · 07-09-2008, 04:00 PM

Hi guys + gals. I know the tire issue gets TIREsome but I can't stand the noise in the corners from the stock stones (just like most of you). Probably a knee jerk reaction but I think I care more about quiet + handling than I do treadlife....so I was thinking about getting the Avon Venom X for front + rear....anyone running those? What kind of miles did you get (or have now). Did you notice a BIG difference in noise/handling? I see the Avon's are cheaper (20%)...maybe that justifies the treadlife a little. I just want a big improvement. Anyone with E3's or Metz feel free to chime in about improvement in noise/handling because my decision is not cast in stone yet as my bike only has 3500k on it....but it is an 03. Any reason I should change the size of tire from the stock 150-80-16's?

Thanks!
