The tires you mentioned above are DEFINITELY the way to go.And you might wanna check the Jake Wilson website for prices.That's where I've been buying mine. Dave!!!

The front AV71 is wearing like iron and will definitely remain my tire of choice for the front,and I'm hopin the rear will wear the same.But I can't comment on the AV72 yet because I haven't tried it yet.However,I do have one in stock and will be putting it on when my currant AE wears out which won't be for another 4-5000 miles.The last three tires I've used on the back were Dunlop's AE and were giving me 12-15,000 miles which ain't bad compared to all the others I've tried.However,the AE sings when goin down the road which i can put up with because it lasts as long as it does.So when the AE wears out, THEN I'll put the AV72 on and report back.Fair enough??? Dave!!!
