[QUOTE="CCook82, post: 316716, member: 1615"] Well after getting 3500 miles out of Pilot Roads on the rear (lot of two up at 42 psi), I decided to go back to Avon and purchased the Storms. I mount and balance my own. Previously had run through at least three sets of Azaros. Usually 5000 on the rear and 7000 to 8000 on the front. Have not put a mile on the front Storm yet, but was reminded on balancing that I had indeed had gone back to Avons. Had to put 40 grams on the front. I repeatedly spun the tire on the rim until I got DOWN to 40 grams. I really wanted to run the Avons for better wear. but from these comments, it looks like I get a more rapid wear from the Storm, probably the dreaded weave (had that on one set of Azaros), and maybe a good thump to boot. Will ride tomorrow and advise. I had already sent a note to Avon to please not abandon the Azaro for a more sticky and higher wearing tire. Looks like they may have done just that, and tossed in variability in other areas as well. What is a poor boy to do?? [/QUOTE]
