Reid was waiting for his new Avons to arrive when last I heard from him. How goes it Mr. Editor?
I just recently got my new wheels and tires after a nearly two-month transit from England (the boat ride to the US East Coast was short; it was the truck ride from New Jersey to Oregon and the red tape that were time-consuming).
I have put only a very few miles on them (we're currently celebrating the Oregon Rain Festival, January 1-December 31), and based on those few miles they feel fine, but I have not driven hard on them. They are the hard-compound variant, but they look and feel quite soft. I suspect that they are excellent-handling, but I also suspect that their life is quite limited.
Worth it? Hard to gauge. I don't drive my Healeys very hard, so I now have tires that are likely much better than what I really need. More than that I cannot yet say.
