DESCRIPTION

The best dry weather tyre for UK club racing, across all classes using 17" tyres. 

Whilst a hugely under-rated tyre, the Avon Xtreme is perfect for Club Racing in the UK. It's more heavily cut than some of its better known competitors, increasing the speed the tyre warms up, and making it work better at the lower ambient temperatures experienced in the UK. Especially beneficial when racing in clubs where tyre warmers are not allowed. 

Great for Post Classic Superbikes & Superstock machines, and also modern racing machines. We have used this tyre in Minitwin, F400 and 600cc racing to huge success. This 180/60 tyre has an inflated width of about 190mm on a typical 5.5" rim (!) which can be beneficial on some bikes, but if you want a true '180' use the 180/55 variant.

This rear tyre was available in 3 compounds, we currently only have stock of the AC4:

AC2: Soft compound. Excellent all year round if using tyre warmers. If not using warmers, the AC2 is our preferred option but now NLA !!. Ready to push all out after 1 lap of warming. However, some riders are not happy with the short life that you get out of this tyre with a big bike.

AC3 & AC4 Medium/soft & medium/hard compounds, slightly higher operating temperature. Suitable only in higher ambient temperatures and when using tyre warmers, or on more abrasive tracks. We would not recommend this compounds if being used without warmers, but some riders prefer due to the longer tyre life. We only have the AC4 available now.

If you want a medium compound trye you could use the Conti, see   https://www.tga.co.uk/products/contiraceattack-2-rear-18060zr17/   but there's not much in it. If you want a tyre that heats up quicker you should certainly consider the AC1 180/55 Xtreme, see https://www.tga.co.uk/products/avon-xtreme-3d-ultra-180-55-zr17/ but note the comment above that the /55 tyre is actually narrower than the /60 variant!!
