Yes, to the Avons, avoid the Michelin.

And I use Rockoil.

I put a set of Pirellis Sport Demons on. Front 110/80, rear 150/80. Got a good deal online from Ridenow the start of summer, $78 for the front $105 for the rear. At first I thought they felt a little 'strange'. Bike just felt different. After riding a bit, they seemed to get broken in and feel pretty good now. I don't ride the bike hard, so for how I ride they feel good.

When I got my '99 Thunderbird Sport in September '07, it only had 2,200 miles on the clock. The tires looked good and I put 1,100 (dry road) miles on them before checking the date code. They turned out to be the originals and, of course, they were 8 years old. I put on some Avon Storms and, after 5,300 miles, I'd buy the same thing again in a heartbeat.
