I found the Avon Storm ultra tyres to be a fantastic commuter tyre on my CBF1000 when I had it, they were recommended to me as a good tyre.

If I was commuting again, I'd go for the successor, namely the Avon Storm 3D XM.


That's what I have - they've got little slits which close up when the tyre is up to temperature, allegedly. This depends on if you can get any heat into them in the first place.

In the wet I can spin them up on the power in second. On a V-Strom. With 64bhp. Laughing

They're fine for commuting, they're cheap and last a long time. But if I used that bike for any sort of fun riding, they'd be off in a shot.
