Hi BigTC,
Tomorrow, Thursday at 9am Vera gets Avons front and rear. AM41 front & an AM42 rear. I have ran an Avon 42 on the rear for about 3000 miles before the nail happened. The front is/was a Metzeler ME330. Lots of miles on this skin, but found that it cupped rather badly after 5000 miles. I'm replacing it because I don't like it and some fresh front tread will be nice this May in the Brasstown Ranger District. The OEM front tire, although it had a cool retro look to it, handled like a retro too. Tracked every little groove.
