Just to confuse you again.........  ???

I prefer a more patterned tyre for all year round than the slicker ones like the Avons.  :-\

Never tried those particular tyres tho so i cant say for them, if Word says these are ok then they will be, i just always found better wet grip with more tread pattterned tyres myself, and i ride on a lot of wet days.

Streido, I think the same way and if you look, the irc urban snow has a distinct pattern for rain/snow/sleet. Seems perfect for any time its cold.

Word, I slow down in the rain as well, just looking to not slow down as much as with the stockers ;D

We got this thread so save it somewhere. If you put on Avons and crash in the rain im sure this will help you sue Word, its all his fault, everything is.

His posts about blown air induction made me sign up for this forum, because I couldn't view the pictures as a non-member back then... Since then, everything has gone downhill over here....

Perfect, my 3 year old made my wallet pretty light this Christmas so I could use some extra cash from someone I don't know that well.

Thread saved.

Thanks Word!  :D ;D :P

I was gonna do the winter tires but I got some info that the vipers are great year round so instead of using the winter tires for 3 months and still having to buy better tires for the rest of the year I just bought these and will use all year.
