Avon TyresAvon Tyres’ successful sports-touring tyre – the Storm 2 Ultra – has received praise from a round-the-world adventure and Britain’s number-one motorcycle magazine.
Mick Høy from Denmark is in the middle of a round-the-world adventure on his 1996 Honda VFR750 and he has good reason to appreciate the qualities of the new-for-2010 Storm 2 Ultras. He says: “Back home in Denmark I can get around 10-12,000 km/ 6210 – 7452 miles from one rear tyre. During my travels through Africa from Spain I did 19,827km/ 12,312 miles on one rear Storm 2 Ultra. Crazy, but true! And the VFR weighs 450 kilos when fully loaded! These tyres give me great grip in hot and cold conditions. They got me through some of the toughest roads in the world, which can be found in Angola. I even ran the tyres partially deflated to get me through sand. Eventually I had to replace the tyre as it had three leaking punctures which I had fixed with plugs! There was still 3mm of tread left on the tyre. The Avon Storm 2 is an incredible tyre.”
