Dear Mr Tumble Weed
I wasn't aiming anything at anybody
I do think this thread has stimulated some very emotive nonsense, even drivel in some circumstances.....................
Unfortunately one man's meat is another's poison so - regretably there will be no definitive answer.
The answer, probably, can be found through personal experience - we all find out pretty soon if something works for us as each of our circumstances is unique.
Further to this I get 12,000 miles + out of my tyres - but - hey - thats me in my unique set of circumstances, some peeps only manage 3,000 miles...
What tyre do I use - why Avon's of course - I've never had a problem with them. There I've said it!
But you could always try 020's................................
