Today was the day to fit the New Avon Spirit ST.
The old Avon Storm 2 was great. I ran up 23,292 kms before the change today.
I never had issues with it as a tyre. It felt nice on the front and thats what made me go for the Avon the second time around.
The Storm 2 was superseded twice over and now is the Spirit ST. So I am going to give it ago trusting that the newer technology gets even better.
The old tyre wore on the RH side more than the left. Not sure why, perhaps it was the road camber - but whatever the case its definitely one sided. In the photo's below you can see where the tread has worn through to the casing.
