Avon Vipers - anyone used them???
 

Just bought a new bike & it has a virtually new set of these on

I'm guessing they're similar to diablo's (but cheaper & not as good!)

Anyone tried them??

Thanks

No but they have had rave reviews in the bike press and have been compared to the ususal subjects ie 014, Diablo etc etc, if there cheap enough they may well be my next choice of tyre

Nigel

Thanks

Nothing against Avon's just never used them & they've always been a bit cheaper than pirelli's etc

Had a look on the FWR site & they're 179 a set so not that cheap!

I have been using their predecessor the av49 and av50 on my 748 and i would take alot of persuading to change from AVONS.

The fact that they are cheaper is just a nice benefit:lol:

Sold to Fordie for £50 - so proper cheap!

Thanks Chef Ill be keen to try them out . Never had Avons before, all ways 010's for the last 25,000 miles thats nearly ten sets of tyres so your nice offer helps. Let you no how I get on with them. 4D
