Lozzo's Review of Avon Azzaro ST Motorcycle Tyre

26th Nov 2006

Overall Rating

5 stars

Good Points

Huge mileage. Grip in dry is great and wet grip is good. On smooth surfaces can brake until the rear wheel is off the road.


Bad Points

Squirms a little when new on start off. Can be a little unstable on very hard braking if road is uneven.


General Comments

I've had Avon Azaro 3 AV45/46STs on two ZZR1100s and a Bandit 600. I don't ride slow and easy yet I still managed to get 8,000 miles from the rear and 10,000 from the front on my last ZZR. I've never had any problems with the rear wheel spinning up in the wet, unless there was standing deep water and I was hamfisted with the throttle - Any tyre will spin under those circumstances. I certainly rate them higher than the BT020s I've had in the past, in all respects.

I took my Bandit to Mallory Park for a track days - it was the only bike I had running on the day and was passing everyone knee-down round Gerrards and braking very late into the hairpin. Throughout the whole day I never had any cause to worry about what tyres I was on. They were never designed for track days but they coped well and were blistered beyond belief when the day was done. I've done a further 6,000 miles on those same tyres and they aren't even half way worn yet.

They're sports/touring tyres not supersports tyres and they do what the manufacturer says they will without complaint. Highly recommended.
