    Storm2 on the Falco and on Debz' Fazer here. Debz got 20,000 miles out of a rear while commuting from Newbury to central London four days a week
    It was squared off a bit, but still usable and not down to the wear indicators. Great in the wet she says.

    Not tried them properly in the wet myself, but they've been fine in damp conditions and I did managed to grind the Falco's side stand on a Chippenham roundabout in the dry :

    I've got Conti Motions on my Hornet, fabulous tyre imho. Thanks to Anarchy Motorcycles, I got a set for just over £120

    Was on Bridgestone 016's, now trying out Michelin Pilots, early days as I'v just had them fitted & still need to scrub them in.

    had the avon storm 2s on my blade, (not ultra are they?) great all rounder. knee down action with no slipage and great wheelies evan in the wet so grip is excellent! BRIDGSTONES ... I dont really like them, felt them slip A LOT in the damp. Im now running the avon ultra 3d's which is the last dual compound tire they do before a track only orientated tire. So far I'm sold on them, highly recommended if you want a great nutters tire with a few motorway journeys in it. not sure on what they are like in the wet yet tho, I dont ride in the wet if I can help it, i could do tho if anyone wants a report before they buy some.

    not on your poll but i ride on Pirelli sport demons and the grip in the dry/wet is phenomenal
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....
