2500 miles on M1 Stortecs with two track days in there. I had one puncture
on a 020 and just put a patch on the inside of the tire. That worked fine
from 3000 more miles, some at >100MPH.

I've never tried Avon's. My best mileage has been 5K miles on 020
Bridgestone rears and 010 Stone fronts.Usually the sides wear out before the
center as bikes are just toys for me. Little commuting. BTW, don't AVONS
have a real flat=(slow turn in) profile like the OEM BT57's?
