Title: Avon Vipers....
Post by: Rage on September 09, 2012, 05:01:04 AM

Just wanted to thank everyone here fro recommending Avon Viper tires. They are really amazing. Just feel soo much more confident leaning into corners now. I would also highly recommend!

They are a great tire. You'll like them even better if you get caught out in the rain. They actually stop, and turn with confidence. I hate rain so I try to push faster to get out of it. Never had an issue.
Now Slinger on the other hand is more like Captain Crunch. He hits sh** thats nailed down.

Everybody loves those tires

I have an oversized Shinko rear on my Peop. No complaints. I like to lock it up in the rain sometimes. Just to test how much traction I really have. I might go for some of those Avons next.

I can tell you the only difference between the Avon, and the Pirelli's is the sidewall. The compounds feel the same or so similar I couldn't tell them apart. The difference is sidewall strength. I rode a Pirelli flat for a few days without knowing it. On the REAR tire. When I went into the shop to fill it one of the guys that hangs around started to laugh... He admitted emptying my new tire as a joke a few days before, and forgot. I punched his nutz so hard it hurt my hand. The joke got alot funnier then.
Point is I like the Diabalo's better. Stiffer but same grip. Wear I don't know yet. The Avon's lasted a full year pluss some. The front is as good as new, and the rear is worn but not completely. I had to patch a hole in it so I just kept it as a spare, and got the Diabalo's
