Avon "fat freddie" is a bias ply tire not a radial. Looks good on the rear of the Valk. Handles good with an Avon Venom on the front. Biggest drawback for me was low mileage, only got about 6K out of it before the cords were showing.

Hi!
What made you decide to use a Shinko, instead of a matching Bridgetone in the front? Just wondering how these Shinkos handle... thanks!
