Just had Avon Storm 2 Ultras Fitted
I have just had a set of avon storm 2 ultras tyres fitted after reading the bumph about how they are good in the wet and have 12% increased mileage (supposedly 10k+) now and at not too bad a price as were fully fitted £224 quid the pair. so Il keep u updated on how the mileage stacks up on them

I had two sets of AVON's on my '94. The second set were Storms. I really liked the feel and they did well in the wet too. They were done by 8000miles but maybe the new ultras last longer. I'm on my second set of Mich PR2's. I'd say the feel and wet performance were the same but I got 13K out of my first set. For the price/mile they were cheaper. Good ridin' to ya!
The storms certainly sound like a good option if they were a little cheaper over here. I looked them up expecting a better price than the michelin PR2s and was surprised to see that they're more expensive. Heck, they're like $300 a set at moto superstore.
I thought the Pilot Road 2s were bad at $270.

Utilises a new STEEL wind-on belt construction & MULTICOMPOUND tread on the rear tyres to further enhance mileage capability by another 12% !
The Storm-2 Ultra replaces the Storm-ST and builds on it's predecessor's talents. Employing what's called 'Reactive Footprint' (RF) technology, the Storm-2 Ultra produces a footprint that changes size and shape depending on the bike's lean angle, growing in size the further over the bike goes. It means you get high grip through the corners yet in a straight line have a footprint which increases the Storm-2 Utlra's lifespan. Avon's RF technology questions the need for dual compound tread, which has uneven wear patterns accociated with it.
The wet weather performance of the Storm-2 Ultra is outstanding, thanks in part to the tyre's Super-Rich Silica (SRS compound). The extremely high Silica content delivers optimum grip in the wet and dry. It also has the added benefit of warming up quickly.
On the front tyres, the Storm-2 Ultra benefits from Inverted Front Grooves (IFG) that resist stepped wear and cupping, ensuring smooth handling for the life if the tyre and improving wet weather braking. The Enhanced Aqua Flow (EAF) pattern of the rear tyre also increases your safety and confidence in wet conditions
