What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 15 owner reviews found online.

The Avon Spirit ST is overwhelmingly well regarded among motorcycle riders, with most reviewers praising its wet and dry grip, stability, comfort and value. Many report longer mileage than competing Michelin, Bridgestone and Dunlop tyres, and several favorably compare it to the Michelin Road 4/5, Pilot Power and Bridgestone T30/BT-016. A small minority report problems with steering response, lack of feedback, or vibration.

Pros

Excellent grip in dry, cold and wet conditions, with confidence-inspiring braking and wet-weather performance, and capability extending to occasional track use
Stable, predictable handling at high speeds and under heavy loads (pillion and luggage), with a comfortable ride and low noise
Good tread life reported by several riders, who describe even wear, resistance to squaring off and mileage up to nearly double that of Michelin tyres
Good value, described as inexpensive or cheaper than comparable tyres such as the Dunlop Roadsmart 3
Frequent favorable comparisons to competitors including Michelin Road 4/5, Pilot Power, Pirelli, Bridgestone and Dunlop

Cons

Wear complaints from a minority, including one rider who got only about 2,000 km
Reluctance to turn in fast direction changes and a lack of feedback from the tyres, according to one reviewer
Front tyre vibration and shaking over 60 mph on one BMW K1600GT, which persisted after rebalancing at two garages
One reviewer found the tyre expensive, though others described it as good value
One warranty claim was rejected, and the reviewer was dissatisfied with the manufacturer's response

Worth knowing

All reviews appear to be for motorcycles, and no tyre sizes were provided. Sport-tourers and heavy touring bikes (Triumph Tiger 1050SE, Honda CBR1100XX, BMW K1600GT, Honda VFR800) were the most common applications.
Riders carrying a pillion and luggage, including one combined weight of at least 500 kg, reported strong stability and good wear, and one 2-up rider expected close to 6,000 miles from a rear tyre versus a typical 3,500.
The BMW K1600GT had mixed results: one rider reported a defective-feeling front with high-speed vibration, while another reported the tyres holding up well as a good all-rounder.
