Well, got back from a good ride yesterday with my friend Andy. I rode Frost for the day and checked my rear tire when I got home. At 4,563 I am to the wear bars in some parts of the center of the rear, and the front shows wear patterns also. This is the first set of the Avon Ultras that I have 'finished' off. I got about the same mileage on the 'regular' Storms (4895, 4913) and was hoping to see some improvement with the Ultras. I usually got 7,000+ out of the old Avon Azaros so I reckon I'm back to trying the Metzler Z6s again. I used get around 7,000+ out of the Metzlers also, so I hope the new 'improved' ones aren't improved like the Storm Ultras. ;-) Makes me glad I put fresh Storms on SweetTreat before I went to Canada (had 4,450 on them), cause I would have been out of tire if I hadn't. I guess there must be something wrong with throttles on my ST1100s ...
