Title: Avon AM 51/52
Post by: sprint_9 on September 27, 2004, 01:06:52 PM
Ive been doing some tire searching as of late and was wondering if any of you have tried the Avon Am 51/52 combo, I thinking about possibly getting a pair but would like to know some info first.  Thanks for any help.

Nobody has had any experience.  Hmm I dont know, I'd take that as a bad sign I guess.

How many miles is 4000km?  Yea I love the price of them, almost as good as my junk Kenda's.  What other tires have you had Frost, how do these compare?  Thanks for the response I really appreciate it.

i can only compare these to stock...
it's MUCH better in every kind of condition...

i was gonna buy the BT-45s at first...but then my buddy suggested these to me...he rode through canadian winter in snow and frozen grounds and he never have a problem with it...
