Avon Azaro

Replace the shoes on the VFR yesterday. 7600mi in 14mo not nearly enough miles. Course I did put 4k on the ST1300, so I shouldn't complain too much.

The old tires still had some life left in them. but I thought I was going to Arkansas this weekend and I didn't want to chance the tires running out of life while I was up there. Peace of mind is worth sacrificing a few miles on a set of tires.

Ok, The previous tires were Avon Azaro ST45/46. I absolutely love those tires. Great turn in, great feel, great grip wet and dry, great mileage. I really think I could have matched the ~9,000 that I put on a prior set of Michelin Pilot Roads had I left them on. In short, I loved these tires.
I would have replaced them with the same thing except Avon release the Strom 55/56 ST tire which is being heralded as better then the 45/46 if thats possible.

So I've got new shoes on the steed so its time to ride!
