Had it installed today and then did a 30 miles test run. I'm impressed! The tire virtually removed all the "harshness" associated with the bias-belted, heavy walled, sport bike rear tire. Small, sharp road imperfections that used to rattle my windshield were gone. The larger ones softened dramatically. Yet the tire felt well planted to the road at all speeds up to 75 mph. It tracked well in both straight line and curves.
As it is brand new and not broken it I did not push it very hard today. I will do a follow up later on. Suffice it to say that at first glance I am very impressed with this baby. Avon may have really come through for us Gold Wing trikers.
Also, according to Avon the pressure should be between 40 - 42 psi. I ran it at 42 psi today and will keep it there until I put a few hundred miles on it. I will probably experiment with the 40 psi setting later.
