[QUOTE="OrangevaleFJR, post: 234652, member: 548"] Yeah, it's not the kind of path I would usually take. I have to tell you though, even with the thump in the rotation, this tire sticks to the road. The Bridgestones, and the Roads (Roads were worse) slid off of tar snakes like they were oil on glass. The Avons seems to go over tar snakes in the turn without any ill effect at all. There were numerous times on the Roads that I got enough front tire slip that I thought I was going to lowside! I hate that feeling! Therefore, Bridgestone and especially Roads are out of my list of options. While I hate replacing tires that have some kind of defect and it would seem that Avon has more than their share, what I hate even more is putting a crappy tire on and having to live with it for the life of the tire. At least with the Avon, I can get rid of the deffective tire under warranty and get to my next good set faster. [/QUOTE]
