    Hi Mick, I did about 20,000 mls (with loads left!) on two sets of Avon Roadrider AM26's on my 2010 T100 . Perfect in all conditions and not a lot of 'chicken strip' left.

    Yes, decision made, Avon Roadriders AM26
    I have just priced them up and they look ridiculously cheap from TyreTec at:
    Front: £54
    Rear: £64
    P&P £7.50

    Avon Roadriders seem to have developed a habit of appearing in 'classic' magazines adorning the wheels of not only road bikes, but also classic racing bikes (if you are sad enough to check these things - like wot I am!:p). Can't be a lot wrong with them then!:cool:

    Sure the road riders will be grand but I've now done about 500 miles on the T120 with the Avon Storms including guide a lot of wet and crappy roads and I reckon they are about the best tyres I've ridden on

    Just ordered a set for my 17" cast wheel Bonnie from TyreTec
    £125.50 including carriage.
    Thanks for the advice biglad, the EBC HH pads have been great as well.
