Anybody have experience with Avon AM26 tires?

I need new tires for my R26. According to my owner's manual, the OEM tires were 3.25 x 18.

 

I found these Avon AM26 tires that come in this size. The tire comes in a "universal" spec, so should work on the front or rear. The tires look a bit modern, but seem like they might be nice tires.

So. . . I'm thinking of a 90/90 18 on the front and a 100/90 18 on the rear.

 

I know Cheng Shin makes a tire that's 3.5 x 18, but I'm thinking the Avons might be a better quality tire, and a closer fit with the OEM recommendations.

 

Does anybody here have experience with these tires on an old bike?

 

Any other suggestions?

Simply, I love Avons.

I use AM26's on my R100, probably third set or more.

On my R1100 I use the Avon Storms.

Easy mount, nice balance, and most of all great feel.

I think both are excellent in the rain , but I don't push too much in the rain.

Chen Shin's ? Not for me, I bought a Norton a few years back that came with those "tires" on, absolute garbage.

Installed the Dunlop TT100's ( made especially for Nortons)and that great handling came right back. clap.gif

Just my opinions,,,,,,
