I'm getting Avon Azaro III fitted on my RS tomorrow so later on I can
get you a full report of the new tyres.

Some holes are repairable with a rubber plug.  I have no personal
experience of such matters, but I'd be inclined to replace the tyre if
it's already reasonably warn and you do a lot of "full beans" riding.

I'm quite enjoying the BT020s that are now standard fit on the Sprint
models.  You could also try Azaro IIIs.  I've had Azaro IIs on a couple
of previous bikes and found them to be excellent, providing a good
balance of grip (confidence) and longevity.
