I bought my FXD 3 months ago from a guy in London that had bought it from new and used it most days, so high milage 55,000 miles. He says Avon Venoms are the best, tells me if you follow a bike in the wet with Avons on it will have left a drier track on the road than if it had Dunlops, in other words it sheds water better. I don´t know but i´ve just had a pair of vfenoms fitted so time will tell. They certainly look the part.Best Wishes, Rob Rymer
