+1 for motorcyclesuperstore, never tried Avons though.

Don't forget jakewilson; some good prices on various tires. Last time I checked (~1 month ago), they had the best prices for the Avons, though that could have changed by now

I just got an Avon Roadrider...for the front....Dennis Kirk....

Seems really nice.......the original Bridgestone got "cupping" and sort of ticked me off....tread was still deep enough but cupping made it ride like  a snow tire.....

Avon was easy to install too...using only tire irons....

There is no "yellow dot"  so you just mount and balance if you desire....i didn ot even bother to ballance...don't notice any adverse effects...

Found best deal on Roadriders at Jake Wilson, bought a new Roadrider rear there a couple months ago.  Got my 3rd set of Roadriders on now, great milage, adequate handling for my needs.  I usually check AMT, Superstore, and Jake Wilson for prices.  Jake Wilson has free shipping on orders over $99.

Got mine at Chaparral Motorsports back when I did them last (09). They had decent prices at the time. I've had ok results from them except for trying to get the free 2 day shipping.

I'm also currently running Avon RoadRiders, I think they're pretty good tires. This is my second set, as I normally go through a set of tires each year I've tried several brands. As for where to get the best prices and service...

How do the road riders compair to the av45/46?

dsmgs500

What I am looking for is something sporty but I maybe able to drive it for long periods of time, I think I'm stuck between the azaros and road riders. I'm a beginer but would like something thats capable of more lean comfortably as my riding skill progresses.

All I've had experience with for Avon Tires is the RoadRiders, I've also used Pirelli, Kenda, Bridgestone, etc..
