Re[2]: Mixing compounds

Mark,
     
How has your luck been with Azaros?  I bought a rear tire for my YZF1000 
and after about 300 or 400 miles I noticed a slice in my tire on the 
right side.  Then one day while riding I got a nail in my tire. While 
plugging my tire I noticed that this "slice" was now all the way across 
the tire. This tire was coming apart! So I kind of count the nail in the 
tire a blessing. I couldn't imagine riding at high speeds and have the 
tire disintegrate. Needless to say I sent the tire back to AVON. Can you 
believe they said they wouldn't refund my money due to the plug in the 
tire.  Regardless of nail or not a tire shouldn't come apart at the 
seams! I put over 1200 miles on a Dunlop with a plug in it and it didn't 
split at the seams. I hope you have had better luck than I.

     Troy,
     
     I've been using the Azzaros for two years now with no problems. In 
     fact I reckon they're probably the best all round tyres I've tried on 
     any bike. The Azzaros now come with a warranty to the effect that if 
     you puncture before wearing 1mm of thread the tyre will be replaced. I 
     suppose this is a first step towards a customer focussed approach 
     which would be a welcome change in the motorcycle industry in general.
