Doubtful the ole viffer can generate the top speed to take advantage of a V rated Avon rubber but its wider profile will slow handling anyways. Battleaxe BT's are good but ancient rubber tech, I have burned my share, IMHO tho, go withe the Pirelli. It is a much newer design tire.

Thats what im thinking. Just by reading reviews online, I will be staying away from the BTs and Conti's.

I really like the other two. I figured I would never reach the speed for the V rating, but it might not be bad to have the extra speed rating in the bag.
