Front tire: Avon, Metzeler, or other

The tax return is on it's way, and so I'm getting a new front tire(100/90-19), new Progressive fork springs, a silverstar headlight, and maybe a few other things if I can sneak them in. hehehehe.

On the front tire: I have heard great things about the Avon Venom-x, and the Metzeler 880 Marathon. The general feeling I get seems to be as follows:

Avon Venom - cheaper($80 online), very nice ride

Metzeler 880 - more expensive($130ish), lasts 20K miles (twice as long as the Avon).

What are your thoughts? For now I'm leaning towards the Avon just because I can get it and the progressive springs from MAW for a great price.

What did you end up getting? My front tire has about another 1k on it....

I went with the Avon Venom-X 110-90-19. It is a great tire and is lasting very well.

NOTE: BUY FROM ROCKWALL HONDA!! They sell their tires at cost. I got mine for under 90!

It's nice to post on the forum again. I'll try to stop by more often.

Bridgestone S11 Spitfire! I think it comes in the size that fits your bike. It's a sport touring tire and handles awesome with great mileage!

Nice Twin! I'll have to give that one a look when it's time.

Anyone tried Kenda Tires? Kenda Kruz?

Supposed to have good customer service. Not sure about the tire performance.

Bidding on a perelli right now......
