From what we see here it seems that Avon knew there would be a period of down time whilst transferring production, so they made and stored a lot tyres prior to the UK facility shutting down. This is seen in the manufacture dates on the tyres which seem to be older than what we are used to seeing. So far UK distributors have plenty of stock so they should be available for a while.
Avon Tires No Longer Available?

Yes, correct. I suspect that decent 19” rears are going to become a problem…

Do you have any industry insights as to if / when they are going to produce Roadriders, and if so which ones ?
I currently run Avons on all my bikes except one, and have been using Roadriders ever since Super Venoms were discontinued, so I have a dog in this fight !

Around here the preference is bt46 bridgestones. some have run the front 100-19 on the rear. I really like the way commandos run with the 19 rear. Then again I prefer the 90 front to the 100.
Nothing of any value, it's all quiet.
