Has anyone been running the new Avon reinforced tires introduced last year?

I'm down near the wear bars on the original oems, so it's time.

I've heard (3rd hand) that the Avons give a smoother ride over small bumps, and don't track down the rain grooves, etc.
near as badly as the Bridgestones.

If it has any relevance, I'm a lightweight solo rider who rides fairly agressively in the twisties.

Any feedback is welcome.
