I saw a post on here recently regarding these tyres but I don't seem to be able to locate it now. Anyway, I've owned my K for nearly 24 years now and as a consequence have got through a few tyres in that time. I fitted a pair of these Avons late last year just before the winter started and they have been, without doubt, the best tyres I have ever fitted to this bike. The grip in both dry and wet, especially wet, is exceptional. I ride over a 100 miles a day cross country and demand a lot from my tyres. They are wearing very well too. A shade over 8,000 miles and the rear is still good for the rest of the summer (joke-the summer hasn't started yet in the south-east) so 11-12,000 should be good-maybe more. By way of comparison I would normally be lucky to get much more than 9,000 out of any of the others I've used.
