I found Avon Road Runners. There are just so many different models, Graham On Aug 16, 2009, at 2:04 PM, Dennis Hammerl wrote: I've mounted many tires on 700s's and rode them and got feed-back from owners. One of my 700's has Continentals (NG) and the other has Avons. As long as I can get Avons in that odd size, I'll keep buying them. It's the best bias-ply tire I've used. costly ? Sure. I need all the advantages I can get and I'm willing to pay for them. No way will I ever put up with "black, round, holds air" There is a reason for premium tires. I look at it this way; when you find out that the corner is waaay tighter than it looked and you're going down... the diference in price doesn't look so bad. My tires are better than my ability as a rider. That suits me fine. The other way around is unacceptable. --- On Sun, 8/16/09, Graham Rogers <[email protected]> wrote: From: Graham Rogers <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Tires (again) To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, August 16, 2009, 7:30 AM that's two for the Kendas and two for the Cheng-Shins.
