I like Avons,Been running them on the bikes I really use like my 1971 Yamaha R5b and my Moto Guzzi 850T . For the older stuff I use the Cheng Shins because they are like what came on them in the mid 60's. and they don't see much action.This being said I'm wondering what guys that travel long distance loaded with camping gear and all the other crap we need use on their K bikes.I used the Avon Roadriders on my T when I rode loaded all over North America.They worked well but I only got 7000 miles out of them so I had to replace them half way thru the trip.Now that I'm going thru this nice K100 I have I am wondering if I should try something different.I was looking at these Metzeler Lasertec's Front is an H rating the rear is a V not that I am going to be going over 100 mph but you know,you never know so be prepared right.Anyway,what I am wondering is what others who do long distance loaded up like me use on their bikes and why. Thanks.
