roadriders vs Laser tecs?
« on: April 06, 2009, 02:53:23 PM »
I was thinking about getting some Avon roadriders online. I was Wondering if anyone is still having the side wall cracking problems or is tha just a problem of the past? I like the Avons better but if I get them online and they crack I'd probably be screwed..

So as the title says let the wars began! AVON? OR METZELER?  :)

The sidewalls on my rear Roadrider cracked...I called Avon and they told me that it was fine, and to just keep an eye on it. It still works well, and the cracking hasn't gotten worse....it still weirds me out though...
