Hi Jeff
Where did you order them, and where did you have them installed ? Did you have any issues bringing them back across the border after you purchased them in the U.S. My tires are still very good (I only have 15,000 kilometers, or 9,000 miles) but I have a couple of buddies who will be needing new tires for their bikes very soon. I'm hoping to purchase some Avon tires for my bike when the time comes, preferably white walls, so if you know of a place I can get them at a good price I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. I'm surprised my Bridgestones haven't shown hardly any wear with the kilometers I have, so I guess keeping both my tires at about 40 psi helps a lot. With that said, the only reason I won't purchase Bridgestone again, is because I find the Bridgestones very noisy when leaning in the curves.
Thanks in advance to any info you can share on this.
