    There was a guy with Drag Specialities tell me years ago.
    In Texas Avon tires burn up pretty fast. And get nail s in them easier.
    Up north where it's cooler the Avon a does a lot better.

    I like how Michelin stays more rounded.
    And the Michelin has the rain technology in them.
    All I can say is I have a 107 motor & I don't Baby it.
    Gives mean Adreline rush twisting the throttle .
    And It Don't Guzzle Fuel like a 124
    With over 5000 miles on the tires I'm happy.
    And the weather outside.
    My digital thermometer has read 97* most everyday this week.
    Thank God for my 2 yrs old Heat Pump.

    Hate to hear you didn't get good luck with them.
    I bought mine from a place so I knew they was New rubber and not sitting on the shelf for a while .

    Here is My Cheap Michelins on a 2011 Ultra Limited. And most of my riding is done 2 up.

    And it stays a lot hotter here than there.
    This is on a 107 motor with over 100 hp and 100 tq .
    Tires has over 5000 miles on them.

    Look how they are nearly worn out. And not rounded in the center any more.

    Guess I need to look for another tire Holmes.
