The Avon Storm 2 Ultra is widely regarded as a high-mileage sport-touring tire that excels in dry-weather stability and longevity. While many riders praise its exceptional value and consistent performance on heavy motorcycles, a subset of users reports concerns regarding wet-weather confidence and a slow warm-up period.

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.

Worth knowing

Users of heavy, high-torque machines like the Hayabusa and ZZR1400 report high satisfaction with stability and wear, though some find them unsuitable for aggressive riding in cold/wet conditions.
Some riders noted uneven front tire wear patterns, particularly on larger touring models like the Triumph Trophy 1200.
Owners of middleweight bikes like the SV650 and ER6 report excellent longevity, often exceeding 10,000 miles.
