[ST] Turbulence and tires

[Connie M Walter <labkelly@xxxxxxxx>]

Haven't butted in here for a while but I was reading the thread about
wind and noticed that Keith Peters had responded.   Well I had talked to
him at the Eastern Rallye about tires and we are both running the Avon
Azaro IIs.  I truly believe that the problem for Keith and myself is tire
related.  When I am hit with even a small cross wind the bike feels as
though the front end is pushed to the side at the tire.  Not a push that
you can feel in the bars that tells you to counter steer, but more like
the tire is just moving over on you.

In my opinion, I would never buy these tires again and I am glad that
they are half gone.  I don't plan to try to use them up 100% as I will be
real happy when they are off of this bike.  I have no idea how they did
so well when tested on this bike but it really makes skeptical about
believing too much of what I read.

My .02   Don't buy AV35/36 if you want to enjoy your bike!
