RE: new tires
Venoms are a softer compound and you won't get the mileage. They are a good dry weather tire, not too good in rain. Avon Roadrunners are better mileage and better in the rain. The New Dunlop Elite III's are supposed to be really good and they don't have the corrigated sidewall.
I run Roadrunners now, when it comes time to change again, I'll go Elite III's.

I use the Stock Dunlops just becuse I have Wide Whites and I don't care for the look of the white walls on any other brands.

RE: new tires
I put on a set of Metzeler ME880s recently to replace the OEM Police run-flats. In what little bit of rain has hit here, they seem to do better than the Dunlops. The ME880s are much better on grooved pavement - my buttcheeks would clench a crease on the seat riding across grooves on the Dunlops. Haven't had the ME880s long enough tell about treadwear...

I ran Avon Venom Xs on my FLHS. About 8 to 10K on the rear, almost double on the front for mileage. They don't track as much on rain grooves as Brand D in my opinion, and I feel that they do very well in the wet. August 2005 Albuquerque, NM to Wisconsin Dells and back two up, 3000+ miles in 10 days, torrential rain every day on the road including hail, two-lane secondary roads to interstates, with no hydroplaning, slipping, or drama.
