And street tires on a vintage 2010 DS.   These were installed by the original owner so I can't tell you were to get them.  On the sidewalls are "Duro DM 1057" and "140/70-16" (rear) and "Duro DM 1060" and "110/70-16" (front).

Hi RickSteeb,

ridding your Avon Roadrider for 1 month, are you still satisfied?

I like the optic too, as I see it is possible for me to have the 110/90 or 120/80 what would you prefer?

Could you see a difference in maxspeed or is the 97% less diameter not noticeable?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

beautiful bike, now she just looks my first Zero 2010S all in black.

I'm very happy with the Roadriders.  They feel very sticky/confident in curves, and the ride is super-smoooth and quiet compared with the enduro-style tread stockers.  I think I prefer the 120/80's wider profile, and it still hits 80 MPH if I let it!

Tanks RickSteeb,

I have to admit the 110/90 is a front tire, the home page didn't tell it, but at Avons side it is clear there are no rear tire in 110/90.

So I have to go to our TÃœV and need the paper work

But I think I will go for the Avons

I think I remember seeing your bike.  It looks almost like the same bike.  Nice looking bikes.  Thanks

I have a 2012 Zero DS, the rear tire is worn out at 3200 miles!  Found a Shinko rear street tire 110/90-16 from JPCycles for $48.99 + $7.99 shipping, will post later to see how well it holds up!

My rear tire is about to hit the wear mark (I am at 3,800 miles). I just ordered the same set of Avon Roadriders as RickSteeb from motorcycle-superstore.com. I paid $196.98 (with free shipping) for the set. Will report back with pictures when I have them installed.

And the tires were installed today, no pictures though since the bike is now at the dealer, awaiting new charger installation.

I just ordered a 130/70-17 rear tire from Motorcycle Superstore.  I decided on a Michelin Pilot Activ tire.  $111.99 to my door.  The stock rear tire seems to be wearing rapidly for some reason (about what I would expect from a sport radial tire), but the front tire looks like it will last forever. I figure I will change it sometime later this year and wanted to have it in my closet ready to go.  I also wanted to make the purchase before Congress makes all internet retailers collect local sales tax, which I understand is likely to be approved in the near future.

Dealer found the Avon's before I had to chance to check here.  Quite a difference from the 2010 knobbies I was running. 
So much quieter and a new level of fun to ride has been reached.  I worked on the lean turns in a parking lot today to get the nubs off the edges and get comfortable with the new lean angles.  Very sweet ride!
