while driving a
Honda VFR 800
(180/55 R17) on
a combination of roads
for 6,000
spirited miles
I have had many tyres on my VFR Vtec, I ride all year round, wet and dry. I have used many brands, always looking to balance grip and life. Other tyres I have used on the bike are:
BT020
BT021
Pilot Road
Pilot Sport
Pilot Road 2
Pilot 2ct
Conti Road attack.
sadly my "Buy British" attitude bit me this time and I have to say, in the wet these tyres are just not good enough. I have had the back break away under mild acceleration, they take ages (if ever) to get any heat into them and the front lacks feel when pushed in the dry. Its such a shame as the life of these tyres was looking good, but i would rather have the pilot road 2 over these any day despite the extra expense.
Come on Avon, please improve these, i want to buy British but your not making it easy for us.
