I favorite tires for my type of riding which is all street, no track are the Avon Azaro 45/46's. Hands down the best tire for grip and longevity.

I used to get two fronts for each rear, but with my last few sets of Avons and now BT-014's, they've both worn evenly.

Although I like the new BT-014's, they aren't lasting as long as the Avons and I will definitely be going back to Avon for my next set.

How are the Avon's for agressive street riding? I have my 600F3 to take to the track, so my 900RR will just be used on the street. I like the Avon's because several people, including you have said they last alot longer then other tires. I'm really thinking about trying them out now. Do they warm up farily quick? Thats the big thing I love about the Metzlers.

Dragon -- which Bridgestone's? I haven't used a full set yet. Last set was 14 up front and a 10 in the rear. Ya ya ya, I know -- never mix ... yada yada yada ... but they were both Bridgestone and it worked out great. Next set after the Pirelli's will be 14's fore and aft. Pirelli's have been good so far -- but only 1068 miles so far. Time will tell ......

Tomahawk tires -- my personal opinion on the tomahawk's is I wouldn't try it on a dare. I'm a frikkin dare devil for some things but I just think that color pretty tires are for squids. I'm sure that they hold up well for normal riding and possibly for ***** to the wall riding. My bike is silver/black so Bridgestone black matches my color scheme really well. Don't need any fancy colors for my tires thank you.

For you dudes that choose to use the color pretty Tomahawk's -- give us the low down. Heat up, cornering, traction, traction, traction!!!! How do these tires compare with the big boys?
