  1. A while back you recommended Avon Azario's as a good choice for a B12.

    Outstanding tyres, I'm much impressed.

    Can't thank you enough.

  3. If I've bought sh1t tyres can someone tell me before it rains!

    UKRM was one source of many recommendations of Azaros so they can't be
    too bad.

    .....and the guy in the tyre shop reckoned they're the number one choice
    for a hard wearing tyre.

    Worried now.

  4. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique,
    typed
    Don't be unless you're a psychopath ragging the **** out of a Bindit
    with your missus alternately screaming and threatening to throw up on
    the back and you're intent on doing a personal best lap of Pahnd Island.

    If that *is* the case, you've bought the wrong tyres.

    The last one on my 600 Bandit lasted 10,000 miles, and still gripped
    well on the day it was replaced.

  6. Ta for that. As you guess ultra stickyness isn't my aim. They've got to
    be sticker than the OE tyres and last a little bit more. Sound like
    I've done ok, after all.

    to be fair they were melted to the edge by the time we got to Port
    Erin and he hadn't been playing too much by then. it was a very warm
    day though [1]

    the state they were in after he'd been over the mountain was not good.

    [1] remembers the Peel ice cream shop fondly. why don't they make
    decent ice cream over here?

    You've bought shit tyres.
    Some people want high mileage from tyres, others want grip.
    Hard wearing isn't a good thing if you want tyres to perform well when
    you give it a bit of stick on a twisty road.
    You should be.

    Didn't notice that, but I'd definitely recommend them.
