I would like a tire that last at least 10,000 miles . any feed back on avons? I think the avon 21/20s are cool not sure if they have the sizes my bike would need. I also like the avon venom

I'm on my second set of ME880s. The first pair went 8,500 miles or so. I have to stick with the rear, since no one else makes a 160/60VR16 with the proper load rating, and I'll probably go with a E3 in the front.

The ME880s have fantastic grip, especially in the wet.

i got 14000 on the front and 4700 on the back with the 880s. i would get 16000 front and 9700 back with stock but no grip. i mow have avon front and will get about 14000 and i tried the new dunlop roadsmart and have 5000 and will get about 2000 more and they grip as well as the 880s. they do have one advantage. they are smaller and give me extra useable gear range. extra 300 rpm at 60 in 6th gear.
