New Avon Rear Tire

tire

I use Metzler's on mine and i love em but i used to get 8-10,000 k out of a rear when i first got the bike but now i only get about 6,000 but i dont mind i enjoy riding it more aggressively now that I'm comfortable with my beast
 
So you see what I mean by the "quicker steering" from the Avon's? It caught me by surprise as well, but works well.
