Unfortunately Avon have closed their U.K. Factory, and I believe have moved production to Europe somewhere.

Oh no, thats sad news. I have another 4-5k of tread left on mine, so I can brag about my higher british content for now

Farewell to Avon Tyres: factory closes its doors after 112 years - Classic Racer

It’s a sad thing, but the last tyres came off the production line at ‘Cooper Tires’ in Melksham at the end of 2023; we’d know them better as Avon Tyres.

Yep, those Pirelli's are known to be utterly shite. If you want a retro tread, the Dunlop TT100's I'm running feel nice (can't comment on wet though).

It’s the wet that’s the issue for him.

To be fair, I wouldn't deliberately ride the Norton in the rain (have other bikes for that) but I now know that if I get caught in rain....it's time for a coffee!
