Always a good value, great price for a moderate tread life tire. Avon has always kept us on the road, I highly recommend Avon tire's for those that are budget minded.
Awesome. Rocky Mountain ATV & Avon are top of the line in my book.
Tires are awesome. Had same on my last bike. Wear faster than Dunlop 3s but they grip like that piece of tape that got stuck on your finger while wrapping gifts. Plus RM ATV had a hell of a deal on them. Saved over $200 front & rear. They were on my front step in 2 days!!
got avon cobra tire for raider because it has a 15k mile warrenty. stock metzlar tire got 7k on a front tire and was very dissappointed. have not put this expensive tire on front , but looking at least 12k.
I love the Cobra tires. They are not cheap but the mileage will make up for some of the price since these tires are mileage kings. The amazing thing is that even with the higher mileage they stick like glue. There are so many tires to choose from and nowadays most any of them will get the job done. The Shinko Journeys are a lot cheaper and they have always gave me great service but I like the way the Cobra feels on the Victory. It works great from day one and it performs great all during it's thread life. The one thing I have learned is that when the Cobras get to the wear indicators you had better be ready to put new tires on. They go in a hurry for some reason. I love these tires I wish they were a little cheaper but to me they are worth it.
As soon as I pulled out of the place where they were installed I could tell how much better they were than my last set of Dunlops. Fell into the corners smoothly. Better feeling all around. Wet they stick no problem. Happily recommend them. -m-2015 VICTORY V106 Cross Country Tour--
Love these tires, this is the 3rd set I've put in my VTX1800N. The Dunlop III's are crap, went through them in less than 12k miles and they wore badly with a center ridge. The Cobra's last me 12-15k depending on my throttle control and they always wear smoothly, never have to worry about dropping into a corner with these, they feel like I'm on rails.
Only negative: I live kindly do I took the wheel in to have them mount/balance for me and they replaced my custom chrome air cap with a lovely green one. I didn't notice it until I was home, and they were closed for the night.
Avon Cobra AV71 radial front for a 2013 victory cross country, excellent grip, smooth ride and good mileage. I have a Dunlop E4 radial on the back and love the combination of the Cobra and Dunlop, my previous Dunlop E3 front had cupping issues after 5k. I didn't care for the tread pattern of the new production front Dunlop E4 so stayed with the Avon Cobra because It was excellent for my needs. The Metzler 888 was a consideration since I had that on yamaha vtwin, the Metz 888 will give you more mileage but the Avon Cobra is better grip and smoother ride. The Michelian commander 2 rear, rear only, is another god one
On my Yamaha Raider the factory Metzler was horrible and it washed out in a dry curve one day so i knew i lost all confidence in it. So i did some research on the Avon and oh my im super glad i went with this tire . Sticks to the ground wet, dry, cold, what ever you put it through it will perform. Hands down the best tire ever.
Avon made a great tire for its' Cobra line. A good long wearing, gripping front tire. The wet traction has yet to be tested personally, but I am sure it will live up to my demands. Give it a try. Avon makes great tire products both motorcycle and auto.
I have been running this tire on the front of my bike for 10+ yrs, absolute best combination of traction and wear I have found. Coupled with excellent price from rockymountainatvmc.com, can't go wrong.
there was no identifier showing the heavy part of the tire prior to mounting which helps reduce too much weight when balanced. Write your review here. It must be at least 50 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
Great dry traction....and from what I've ridden in the rain, very good performer with sensible riding.
Pretty good tire. Replaced my Dunflop 404 ....so I guess anything is an improvement! Love my bike, and my bike VTX1800 seems to love these tires. So depending on longevity, I will buy another when the time comes.
I have always wanted a cobra and after reading reviews and doing some research I decided to put a pair on my 13 triumph thunderbird. I only have a 1000 miles on them so cant offer a mileage rating but avon claims 15000. we will see. The front was a little tough to mount but it is a low profile tire. Handling is excellent!! This is a very confidence inspiring tire combo. Break in was quick and wet dry gip is outstanding. Rocky Mt had very good prices on these tires
Tire wears excellent. Only reason for 4 stars it is somewhat difficult to get it balanced. Front tire on goldwing trike. Should get 10000, which isn't bad for trike. About 7500 on it now and still good wear left.
Never had an uneasy moment with this tire. Ride in rain and never had a slip. Got 12k miles. Left side of center wore first and the wear pattern isn't quite even around the tire, but I didn't balance it when I installed it, and I typically wear the left side first on all my tires, so this isn't real unusual. Just bought another to replace it.

After going through 2 Bridgestone Battle axes, and only getting 7,000 miles out of each , then trying a Bridgestone Exedra and getting 8,500. on the front.
I decided to try the Avon Cobra when I went darkside on the rear.
I could not be happier with the Avon, 11,000 miles so far, and just starting to show wear.
Great handling tire and runs quiet. Best tire for a heavy bike....

Hi, I shopped around for a tire, I shopped the local dealers (most don't stock much selection, what they do stock is grossly overpriced), I shopped online (sometimes the "cheapest price" seems attractive, until you get item in cart and see shipping!). For those of you that are "on the fence", as I was about where to order a tire from, let me help you; Order your tire HERE, NOW! Reasons: 1.They matched the lowest price I found 2.My credit card wasn't hacked 3.I ordered my tire YESTERDAY morning, and I got it TODAY!! (without paying for "expedited" shipping) That's just amazing! Yippie!, guess who is going riding, while the rest wait on sloooww shipping from other retailers...

BEST ANSWER:Be better off checking air pressure (front & rear) every day before you ride. Should be no problem steering with correct pressure. Also reccomend taking riding course.

I wouldn’t put any thing smaller than what it came with they mount tires dew to bike weight but I is possible it would steer a little better but I don’t recommend it
