Avon Storms.

I posted here a while back asking about tyres with a good combination
of grip and wear for a K1 Bandit 1200.

From the header, I thought this was another weather thread.

Azaros were suggested and, to me, they seemed exactly what I was
looking for and lasted me well over 6k miles for the rear.

This time I went for Storms (same thing apparently) and the rear has
worn almost to the wear indicators in one 3000 mile holiday. Now,
that's not a major problem in itself, it was a pretty intense 3000
miles, all twistie, on/off throttle etc.

However looking around, some people on 'the internet' seem to rate the
old Bridgestone 020's more highly than the Azaros/Storms.

So have things changed in the last 12 months or so? Are Azaros/Storms
still UKRMs choice for the best rubber for the gentleman who wants
good tyre life and is prepared to compromise a *little* on grip.

I have moved over to Michelin Pilot Road 2s and love them on the
Daytona. 3500 grippy miles and they're hardly worn. They are very
confidence inspiring in the wet too.
