Subject: Avon fitment for BMW LT

Please, please, please tell me that you are close to having a tire appropriate to a 2007 BMW K1200LT. I know that the fitment guide does not recommend this model year due to uneven wear from the front, but there a a large community here waiting for a solution. We all agree that Avon provides a wonderful tire.

Is there a solution near?

If they just gave us the AV-45 back :)

Got 5600 miles out of Avon Storms on a 2000 LT. Front tire wear was bad enough returning from VMD that the front end weaved in low speed corners and vibrated @ anything over 65MPH. Rear tire wear was slightly abnormal. If it wouldn't have been for the front tire wear patterns I think I would have gotten roughly 8000 miles out the set.
Installed a new set of ME880s before going to Sturgis. While I don't like the feel or rain grip of the ME880s, at least I can be confident that I don't have a belt separation or catastrophic tire failure getting ready to occur.
I concur with the other posts, bring back the Azzeros.
