I picked up a new Avon Viper Stryke 130/70-12. The tire is much heavier than the stock Cheng Shin. I purchased it from
www.americanmototire.com It was $38.47 on my doorstep. I ordered it on Friday got it on Tuesday. All their prices include shipping which were alot less than my local dealers. one guy wanted $50 for a Duro tire. It is rated for 584 lbs and speed rated at 94 mph. I have been shopping around for a few weeks. I get conflicting opinions about the major brands. I just want a tire that has decent wet weather traction and will last more than 2000 miles. My stock tire has lasted about 6000 miles. I still has decent tread but is full of patches and plugs and still leaks. I generally do not ride in the rain. Who has bought a tire and busted their but on it. Not interested in what people have heard. I want first hand experience. i figured i would give this one a try. Made in Thailand
