From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Avon Viper Supersport AV60

The Avon Viper Supersport AV60 is a polarizing motorcycle tire that excels in dry-weather performance and longevity but requires careful temperature management. While many riders praise its high-speed stability and grip once warmed, others report inconsistent feedback and unpredictable handling, particularly in wet conditions or on specific high-performance sportbikes.

Pros

  • Exceptional dry-weather grip and high-speed stability
  • Impressive tread longevity and durability
  • Predictable turn-in characteristics for road riding
  • Quick warm-up time for many users

Cons

  • Inconsistent wet-weather performance and traction
  • Requires significant heat to reach optimal operating temperature
  • Potential for unpredictable rear-end slides if cold
  • Front-end feedback can feel vague or twitchy on certain sportbike geometries

Observations

  • Heavier, high-horsepower machines like the ZX-12R appear to generate sufficient heat to maximize grip, whereas lighter sportbikes may struggle to bring the tires to operating temperature.
  • Riders of aggressive supersport machines, such as the R1, reported significant confidence issues regarding front-end stability and wet-weather traction.
Tire B Toyo Proxes CF2

The Toyo Proxes CF2 is widely regarded as a high-value, well-rounded touring tire that excels in comfort, noise reduction, and wet-weather performance. While a small subset of users reported issues with premature hardening or structural cracking, the vast majority of drivers praise its predictable handling and impressive longevity, often comparing it favorably to more expensive premium brands.

Pros

  • Excellent value for money compared to premium competitors
  • High levels of ride comfort and low road noise
  • Strong wet and dry grip with predictable handling
  • Impressive tread life and durability for daily driving
  • Low rolling resistance contributing to fuel efficiency

Cons

  • Reports of rubber hardening or cracking after 2-3 years in hot climates
  • Soft sidewalls can feel less precise during aggressive cornering
  • Requires a significant 'scrub-in' period to reach peak grip levels
  • Occasional reports of structural failure or premature wear on specific vehicles

Observations

  • Users with compact cars (e.g., Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris) frequently report significant improvements in ride quality and noise levels over factory-fitted tires.
  • Drivers of older or lighter vehicles often highlight the tire's ability to provide a 'predictable' and 'fun' driving experience, though some note that the soft sidewalls are less suited for high-performance sports driving.
  • Owners in hot climates (e.g., Greece, Cyprus) noted that the rubber compound may be prone to premature aging or cracking compared to temperate regions.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
