I run Avon Viper front, Avon Storm ST rear... so far done 6k miles on them and the front still looks like new and the rear isnt really showing any sign of flat spotting yet but suspect it will in the next couple of thousand. I reckon will see 10k from these tyres easy...

Another shout for round and black on ebay.

As for which tyres, depends on what bike you have. For longevity on my R1 i used Michelin pilot road 2's 7k out of them no problem and i am always on the back wheel (at the track of course officer)

Don't know what size your after but I've used these for my last couple of sets of tyres- cheaper still if you go for three thre packs

Last Minute change of mind - going for Bridgestone BT021's, not heard a bad word said against them.

www.tyre-shopper.co.uk seem good, but not sure for those particular tyres.

Order online, they deliver to a selected garage and you go have them fitted. Price you pay on the web is all you pay.

Thanks, but checked it out and its £112 just for rear! Cheapest front i have seen is £80, not fitted...

Not sure how much fitting will be - but on loose wheels i would struggle to swallow more than £20 so not as good a deal as i have found.
