I had some odd wear on my Avon Storm 2 Ultra front so thought I'd try the 023's and was very happy with the front but not with the rear. When you have a new tyre fitted you expect to experience a postive difference in handling, switching from the worn Storm rear to a new 023 to match the front was the first time I've ever felt dissapointed with a new tyre. I can't pin it down but I feel less confident and the bike feels less responsive. I'll probably get used to it but certainly won't be replacing the rear with another 023 when it's worn.
