    What's safer?...a 40 year Dunlop with no cracks or a 1 yr old Avon with cracks?
    One sticks great but wondering if it may split apart when scraping pegs and the other you never push into the corners because it doesn't hold anyway so who cares!

      Who said my Avon is 1yr old with cracks...

      Actually it was manufactured in late 2007, has about 9,000 miles on it & is just about done in the centre but is actually not quite on the wear marks yet....

      My 1000G had about 9,000 on the Avon on it when I last saw it but still had probably 30% of the tyre left. I think the Tubeless on the 1000G helps the running temps & thus the mileage.
