    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got to decide. Finally found some MEZ2`s and they are being discontinued. Reason for all this is companies dropping the 16 inch front in radial(120 size). The avon is a new release and looks more modern...more like the MEZ4 which replaced the 2....and like a pilot michelin which I love. I`ve never ran avon`s so I guess what I`m asking anyone has experience with these tires ...especially the avon`s??? BTW both these tires are rated as a sport touring tire. Some of the things I`ve read were not great on the MEZ2...slow turn in,heavy steering...quick wear rate but have seen some reviews where people thought they were great. Thanks!!!!
 
I have used the Avon Azure (spelling?) tires and found them to be very capable...but I only got about 3000 miles out of the rear tire before it was worn out.

Tire ratings?

Tire ratings?

Has anyone ever seen a website that includes motorcycle tire ratings? It seems like it would really be useful considering how important tire performance is to us. :!:

Thanks, Billy

Thanks, Billy....What I wish I could find is performance comparisons between different brands...sort of like you'd find at Consumer Reports comparing dish washers, TV's, etc. :D

There are some tire (tyre in UK) comparisons on the MCN website http://www.motorcyclenews.com/home . I don't have the page reference, so you will have to search the site. I read a comparison review of tires for "middleweights" on this site about 3 weeks ago. It was quite useful.
