Avon Storm 2 Ultra rated 0% while driving a Unknown Unknown
Driving on mostly motorways for 18000 average miles
Hi I'm a 100 mile a day commuter that breaks down to 70 miles motorway and fast A roads around a constant 80 mph and 30 miles a day through London 20mph
If I'm lucky I currently ride a er6 but had these on my 600 hornet they are a great all round tire last for ages the ones on my er6 have done 17000 miles so far and there's still life in them they haven't squared off too much I'll probably change them at 20000 or there about a the stock tires that came with the bike were rubbish handling and were worn out in 8000 miles these Avons are the business take it from me ( someone who actually rides their bike)

Bridgestone Battlax BT 021 rated 77% while driving a Kawasaki ER6F
Driving on mostly country roads for 4500 average miles
I've seen a lot of reviews of these tires and they have been pretty shocking. I think this is partly down to people running the wrong pressures. The Kawasaki manual recommends 32psi front and 36psi rear. Running these pressures the tires are shocking, to the point of not wanting to ride at all. However I emailed bridgestone and they told me the pressures I should be running. This has transformed the bike beyond belief. Lots of grip wet or dry, and I'm looking to hopefully get 5500 miles out of them. I wouldn't get them again as I want to try roadsmarts, but if I bought a new bike and 021s were fitted I'd leave them on.
