I have just changed my 2014 R3 roadster tires to Avon Chrome and it has made a great improvement. It seems to ride like a different bike. The front tire was worn unevenly and the rear was a little squared off but so i do not know how much that effected the ride but it was cornering like a dead weight before and now it is 100% smooth on cornering. An amazing change really.
I just had to share this with the forum. An expensive job but worth it.
My wife helped me pick out that name... it came to us while we were watching the show "Shameless"; of which there is a leading character with said name. We name our two and four wheeled family members we see as having forever.

Kevin- do you recommend the Fobo? Thinking about getting one.
Also, the rear Chromes are waaay more expensive than the Exedra Max, so I've never tried the rears. You burn through tires too- really, really, worth it?
The Chrome I tried once on the front was nice, at first, but Avons always end up cupping on me. I keep going back to the Dunlop American Elite, which I don't hear much about on this site.
The thing that puzzles me is that people say this tire or that tire have more grip. I can't imagine how people know that, I'm a bit of a hooligan, but the only way you would know that is if you lost grip, I can't imagine taking curves on an 800+ lb bike fast enough that it slides sideways, they all have good grip as far as I can tell.
