[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 129993, member: 118"] I have mixed feelings about the Stradas. Turn in is not as quick as with the Avons. That really bothered me at first. But, the Stradas seem more stable once leaned over. Easier to hold a line. Stradas also seem smoother - able to absorb bumps/road imperfections better than the Avons. I was very disappointed in rear wear. I was showing metal belts on my "E" spec rear at 3780 miles. Now granted, those were some extremely hard miles as they included my 2k+ day, but that was totally un-satisfactory. I got 14,700 miles on my last rear Avon and it had 2 BBGs on it. Also, you can't tell when the center is about to go on the Stradas. Just before I left Ely, NV, for the 600 mile ride home I checked the rear tire and I thought it looked fine. I think I will try one more, perhaps the non-"E" spec rear, to see how it holds up to more "normal" abuse. [/QUOTE]
