recently installed Metzlers on my 16 RGS, after a few 100 miles I will be replacing them. I'm a aggressive well experienced rider and this tire has skidded many times on dry road and slid out on me once. Soft tire handles better but wears faster don't give up handling for longevity. I will be going back to Dunlops in the spring.

I've been riding Harleys since the 1970s, used mostly Avons during that time and have never needed to replace them in just one year. I have however replaced some other brand tyres after just a few weeks, because they were just plain awful and borderline dangerous.
You have nothing to lose by trying a pair of Avons IMHO, in fact a great deal to gain!
