Just got back from a 350+ mile run on a brand new set of the Avon Storm Ultras that Tim at Two Brothers got to me quickly! The bike was my 97 ABS ST1100 which has Works Springs with 10 wt oil in the front, Works Pro Racer shock in the back, 49,000+ miles on the clock. Roads varied from wet and slick this morning to nice and dry this afternoon. I stayed on all backroads with a good combination of twisties and sweepers and types of pavement.
1. They stay as planted as good as the Z6s I've ran before, perhaps a bit better than the previous Storms.
2. My prior Avons (Azaro, Storms) usually made a bit of racket - these are very quiet.
3. I did not balance the tires when I installed them eek but they were very smooth - even up to short bursts of triple digits (did I say that? ).
4. Very comfortable grip in the wet - more grip that I wanted to use!
I am very pleased so far with them but the next big question will be the mileage that I get out of a set - but I guess that will take a few days .... ;-)
