Azaro no longer exists. Replaced by the Storm ST. Great dual compound tire. I have a set on my Uly as we speak.

Not terribly expensive.

Just called Parts Unlimited, both front and rear tires are in stock. 120/17 front and a 180/17 rear. They look very cool! And should work great, very low mileage tire I would expect though.

The Pro-Extreme Rain is a wet traction tire designed for supermoto applications. I think Dr. Greg tried a set and said that they were good tires, but that they lasted less than 1500 miles.

They are soft compound that duffers greater wear strapped to a 500lb bike with lots of torque.

I have run one set of Azaro's and two sets of the Storms. They are the longest lasting tires I have had, no complaints. The Storms will last 3 times the mileage of the Dunlops and about 50% more than the Syncs.

Hey, they left out the Distanzia! Yeah, 160/60 but they work great. I expect 5K+ miles from rear. And I rode right out my snow-covered driveway this morning.

Storm didn't wear as well as Azaro for me (5K vs 8K). In general I like Avon tires.

FB is right about Pro-Xreme; however I got almost 6K from the front (1K rear).

In this thread I have photos of my Avon Distanzia's, (yes only a 160 for the rear) that I put on 05Dec then ran up the Rocky Mtns with the next day, including some snow.

So far I couldn't be happier. I put them next to a stock Uly and can't really see a width difference since the sidewall and profiles alter according to mount. But for more off-roading, what a great tire. I loved the street characteristics of the Perilli Sync but they were not much worth a crap on sand, dirt and loose gravel.

I really like the Storm STs they are working and wearing well. I will switch to the new Avon Cobras now on my Street Rod. (Could be a while though, I hardly ride the thing, the Uly is too much fun)
