Beembish Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Anyone using Avon Storm AV55 and AV56 on their 11XXRT's ? Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have been using the previous version (45/46 combo) on just about all of our bikes here for years. They are great tires! I have a new 56 Storm ready to go on the RT. There are others here on this board that have run the Storms on the RT and reported on it. Do a search and see what you come up with.

johnt650 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'll let you know soon. I have close to 1,000 on my Storm front and just installed the back. I am coming off a set of Azaros that I was very pleased with; app. 7,000 on the front and 8,000 from the rear. I have read the reports of front tire cupping problems on the Storm but so far so good, although it's early to tell. Link to comment
roydog007 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I've got about 7500 on mine, I love um. I do want to try the pilot road II when they come out. But I'm very pleased with the Avon Storms Link to comment
Beembish Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 I did a search on this forum: after reading about the terrible cupping and vibration that some have reported, I decided to go with the Perelli Diablo's. I had a pair of Pirelli Dragons on the 2000 RT and were the best tires I've used. Hoping the Diablos are as well. Link to comment
GregB Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I am thrilled with the Pirelli Diablos on my X-Moto. I am thinking they are too "sportbike" for an RT. I have worn 1/8" off the footpegs on my R1200RT getting the Avon AV46 (replaced by Storm) rear to the edge. Looks like the Diablos would still have "chicken strips". Thinking maybe the Diablo Strada? but is that the same shape as the Diablo? Tempting......... Link to comment
KER Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have a full set on my 1150rtp. the front tire has 8k miles on it as has cupped to one side and now has a terrible vibration, other than that there is still quite a bit of tread left. the rear tire has almost 11k miles on it and is almost down the the cord, and it has worn very flat in the center but overall worn very well. although these have great traction dry and wet, I will be switching back to the metzeler Z6 due to the front tire problems. I will also try the new road pilot 2 when they come out. Link to comment
