Avon Cobra AV71 Front Motorcycle Tire

If you want a smooth ride, Avon is the tire to buy. I have rode for 40 years and have tried many brands but have found none that last as long and deliver a ride that will make you feel like you are on a new bike.The price is great when compared to other brands that don't compare to the quality of Avon.

Great handling on my Honda. Well made tire.

-m-2001 HONDA Valkyrie GL1500--

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.

-m-2016 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® Road Glide FLTR/I/X ®--

very good tire bargains at RockyMtnATVMC...
I’ll be back!

Perfect fit for my husbands bike. We went on a nice ride for my bday and the ride was nice and smooth.

The best handling tire I've had on my bike in 11 years!

-m-2007 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® V-Rod, VRSCX

As I stated in the review of the rear tire they completely change the handling of the bike. Instantly turns bike into a much better handling machine

-m-2005 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® CVO V-Rod VRSCSE®--

So far so good, just put 1500 miles on the new front tire. Making turns is easier. I like the tread depth and design. Good grip in the rain also.

-m-2009 HONDA Gold Wing Audio/Comfort GL1800--

Avon makes the best tires, Rocky Mountain provides the best price and the best service. A win win.

-m-2015 TRIUMPH Rocket III Roadster--

This is my second set of Avon's for my Triumph Rocket. Great tires they wear good and very stable,stick like glue.

-m-1996 YAMAHA Royal Star XVZ13AH--

Have been running this tire since the original

-m-2007 KAWASAKI Vulcan Classic LT VN2000F--

Got the tire in quickly. Great value

-m-2006 HARLEY-DAVIDSON®--

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!!

-m-2017 INDIAN Chief Classic--

I’m only getting about 8000 miles on the tires but the handling is excellent from start to finish
The price here is very good

-m-2008 KAWASAKI Vulcan Classic LT VN2000F--

Rides better then stock tire. Installed on a 2010 wide glide.

This is my second set of these tires. will buy again.

-m-2006 HONDA Gold Wing Audio/Comfort/Navi/XM GL1800--

I would recommend this tire to anyone

-m-2004 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® Softail Fat Boy FLSTF/I®--

Always simple, and the best pricing.

-m-2007 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® Softail Fat Boy FLSTF®--

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.

-m-2013 YAMAHA Raider SCL XV1900SCL--

Great tires and for the money will choose them over Metzeler any day.

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.

-m-2011 VICTORY V106 Cross Roads--

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--

great tire just took it on a 1,200 mile trip and it preformed great

-m-2005 KAWASAKI Vulcan VN2000A--

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.

Still it's worth new valve covers.

-m-2004 HONDA VTX1800N--

I get decent mileage out of these but the look is the kicker for me.

-m-2005 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® Road Glide FLTR/I ®--

Handling is much improved compared to my oem original. Excellent in the rain too. Instills confidence on wet roads.

-m-2011 VICTORY V106 Cross Country--

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

-m-2013 VICTORY V106 Cross Country--

Great tires. Second set. Awesome tread wear. Great cornering. Great overall performance.

-m-YAMAHA--

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.

-m-2012 YAMAHA Raider S XV1900CS--

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.

-m-2004 HONDA VTX1800N--

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.

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.

the tire holds the road well, wet or dry its predicable in corners . the strips are about 1/2 ".Its on a Victory Crossroad

-m-VICTORY V106 Vision Street--

I am a repeat customer. I've been using Avon on both Goldwings for awhile. Wouldn't put any other Tire on them.

-m-1997 HONDA Gold Wing GL1500C--

-m-2010 YAMAHA Stratoliner S XV1900--

Tire sticks very well. No complaints. Time will tell on wear but for now its seems great.

-m-2013 VICTORY V106 Vision Tour--

No issues with the tire and it balanced out with very weight.
Was a good value.

-m-2014 HONDA CTX1300--

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

Over the stock dunlop i would highly recomend this avon cobra tire handels great

-m-2006 VICTORY V100 Vegas 8 Ball--

These tires are great if you ride the corners hard. They will only last you around 5,000 miles if you like the twisties....

Machine this part was bought for: 2011 VICTORY V106 Vision 8 Bal

Good tire low mileage

very smooth ride

run these tires for a while good wear

Machine this part was bought for: 1998 HONDA GL1500 Valkyrie

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....

Machine this part was bought for: 2006 HONDA GL1800 Gold Wing
