Re: Rear tyre tread depth

["Phil Guy" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please do not get confused as there are two types of Azaros.  There is the
sports Azaro (which is is probably where your dealer gets his 1500 miles
from) and the Sport Tourer which is the tyre used in the MCN review.  I have
the latter Avon Azaro II AV35 and AV36 on and have covered nearly 1000 miles
with no appreciable wear as yet, despite some quite hard riding.  They are
way better than my old Bridgestones and really give confidence to chuck the
bike around right from the off wet or dry, (beleive me as a born again
biker, I really did not have the same type of confidence with the
Bridgestones and was fairly nervous of heeling the bike over).  To me it's
like having a different bike.  Other listers have expressed similar opinions
and no doubt will add to this debate.

Having spoken to a tyre-fitters and JL's workshop, I have to say that I
should have read the tyre reviews better. Didn't realize you'd only get
about 1500 miles out of the Avon Azaros - and similar figures go for a
number of the tyres at the top of the list, which are obviously as soft and
sticky as toffee melting in the mid-day sun. I for one need good mileage and
would rather "compromise" on clinginess. So I'll probably end up having more
Bridgestones on there anyway.
