AVON Roadrider tires

[Swankster]

Changing out the rear from my Avon Venom to Avon's Roadrider, which I've been riding with on the front and quite pleased with.

Although I was considering a 150, the Roadrider is not available in a 140, so I'm going back to the oe size 130 although it's measured as an MT90 with this tire.

This tire is V rated and has a nice tread pattern to.

It seems quite rounded so I suspect with the narrower size and profile this baby will turn even easier.


I'll give an assessment and or my opinion, once I get her scrubbed in;
unless I sell it first which may in fact be happening due to cash flow problems.

Here's some pics of the tire versus the ol:

Here she is lying next to the front mounted tire:

Next to the 140 Venom rear:

BTW, I have no complaints on the Venom, it performed quite well, it was predictable wore nicely from a mileage standpoint (estimated at around 6K miles), and as you can see is still relatively round in its profile with not to much rubber remaining:

Any feedback yet?

I ran Venoms on a Nomad I had and they squealed like a stuck pig when I cornered. Otherwise they were great tires, just noisy. I will be curious to know how these Avons perform as I am in need of a new front for my Deuce.
