I know those people that swear by Avons won't believe me but I had a problem w/ an Avon rear tire that decided to go bad while on the road. The tire had ~4000 miles so there was lots of tread and it is inflated to 40-42 psi. The bike started to get a weird vibration that only got worse w/ continued use.
It is hard to explain what was going on wth the tire but when looking at the rear tire spinning from behind the bike while on the centerstand it would all of the sudden SHIFT to the LEFT. Anyone that has dealt with spoked wheels would have assumed that the mag wheel was instead a spoked rim that need adjustment.
Luckily a local shop had a Dunlop D205 in stock and it fixed the problem.
