I'm replacing tires this weekend and had to decide between the new
Metzler Z6 and the Avon AZ45/46's. I decided to give the Avons a try
since I've only heard wild-eyed, rabid enthusiasm about their
performance--especially in light of their long-wearing characteristics.
I'm going to try to go on a dawn-to-dusk ride on June 19th to celebrate
the summer solstice. If I can make it I'll post a ride report and
provide some feedback on the Avons.
FWIW, I'm usually a Michelin Sport kinda guy, although I last ran a set
of SportTecs and really enjoyed their performance. The rear didn't
last as long as the Sports (5K vs. 6K), but the front has lasted a
little longer (13K vs. 12K), including a track day. The SportTec's big
improvement over the Sport is that they warm up much, much sooner.
Both seemed equal in the rain.
