Thought I'd post a couple reasons why I'm not putting Avon tires on our 1100s any longer.
We've been using Avons since we bought our 1st 1100 in '01; but, their latest tires:
1) Don't have any indicated light or heavy spot like other manufacturer's tires.
2) Don't wear any longer than anyone elses tire (based on *our* types of riding).
3) See the pictures.
a) Blow out (I think this happened 1st).
b) Failure (this might have happened due to my having to ride the bike while slowing from ~75 mph down to stopped on the side of the I10).
c) Both spots.
