Hi

I´ve tested those Pirellis in a variety of FJs because Pirelli are cheap in Spain and it looks like everyone that sell an FJ fit those tyres to say "near new tyres". Horrible!. No way. More important: even the owners of that bikes say those are horrible when they start to get used of their bikes

http://avon-tyres.co.uk/motorcycle/storm-3d-x-m Typical fitments: Suzuki Hayabusa, Honda Blackbird, Kawasaki GTR1400, Suzuki GSX1400 (from the Avon brochure) Its a radial tyre, so fit an Avon radial front

I´m going to test these in a couple of months: my friend Mingo 1TX has ordered a pair in OE sizes

Alf  -  Any more information on the Avon Storm 3D X-M?  I decided to order some to replace my worn out Dunlop Sportmax Touring front and rear tires. - for my FJ1200 1989 with OEM wheels.  Looking forward to trying out the Avons - Did you get to test them out yet?

Thanks-
I'm with Alf on the Pirelli's. Its chalk and cheese compared to the Avon's .I Have just fitted the new 3Ds.
My first impressions from another post....

I agree on the tyres. I Just fitted my second set of Avon's. The new Storm 3Ds  and after a 100km scrub in ride 2 words come to mind Confidence Inspiring. I had to keep reminding myself not to push it in the corners as I was scrubbing them in.
Bye the time I got to my favourite set of twisties all bets were off.  It was turning in with very little input. Holding its line well through corners  with no wobbles or shakes and all this with standard suspension.
IMO these tyres are as close to the feel of 17" mod as you will get with 16" tyres.

No I don't work for Avon.
