Are you sure you're not running over pieces of gravel? That has the same effect your talking about. I use the Bridgestone S-11 Spitfires on my KZ750.

I to run the Spitfires with the raised white letters. I like the Avons though and will probably try those next. The raised white letter tires are getting harder to find but look better in my opinion.

I have thought about that, but I go over the same areas quite frequently and they are both pretty clean.

I appreciate everyone's comments.

RWL Spitfires here. I'm happy but I don't push it either. Have never felt a lack of confidence in them even at high speed. Reasonably priced too.
