yep definatly narrowed all that down now ... gee a sticky one, a long lasting one, a round one, a black one - although not a must these days depebnding on your bling tastes brrr, a 180, a 190, and an all round tire. There all the answers you need - cant see the problem really dont know why we even have these posts sigh

Avon Viper is a great tyre but as stated they dont wear very well, havent these been discontinued due to a copy right of the name Viper
I have just put on the new Avon Storm and so far so good, just as sticky but seems to be lasting longer.

I get close to 5k out of them when I'm in town mode and commuting each day. I've had a couple of Clyde Mountain runs in the one I just replaced. They were pretty flat out runs with a ZX12 the first time and an R1 in fast mode the second. Lucky to get 2200kays out of it. The message being - the Viper is sticky and capable of reasonable wear, until you need it for what it's made for then it wears quickly, but sticks to the road like shit to a blanket. I backed out of the dice when it got dangerously fast, way before the tyre complained or lost traction.
The Viper returned after a name issue. My tyre bloke told me they're replacing it with another next year. Hope ot doesn't lose any of it's current abilities.
The Storm is more a sport tourer. A rung down the performance ladder from the Viper. Still a good tyre.

Nothing wrong with the Avon Storms.
I'm into my second set now.

What are you getting out of them Les?
RE: New rear tyre - Busdriver - 29-10-2008
13000 ks out of the last set.
Might have got 14000 but replaced them cause they were really flattened off in the centre after my big trip back in May.
