welp, the Avons went on today. when they arrived from tirerack (great shipping as usual) i got a nice rush of "oh crap" to my heart when i saw how wide they were...alot more than i expected. even at 225 width those things are fat! i was afraid they would have clearance issues with the suspension upright.
on my 7" wide rims they ended up being a solid fit but only have about 5mm of clearance from the upright, if that. live and learn....
anyway i like em! haven't done any hard core testing but they ride quite well and don't tramline at all. i had to go full-out on the brake pedal once to stop for some idiot from about 35 mph to zero....not a squeek. once i play with tire pressures and let the release agent wear off i'll have a better performance report.
