Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG23038
04.18.2011
4 Stars
I have had my Cobra's installed for just one year now, and did not put all that many miles on the bike in the summer of 10, I installed the Dyna beads along with these tires and mounted them myself using the lashing strap method which really works slick. The tires seem to handle and corner very well and so far I have had no vibration issues using the dyna beads, the only reason I gave them a 4 stars was that here in wisconsin they like to do a lot of the "snake patch" (least thats what I call it) where they fill the cracks with the tar and throw some gravel over it, those things become like driving on ball bearings on ice if you hit them on a hot day, and these tires only seemed to aggrivate that problem even more. With that being said, it is my only complaint about the tires so far, I have averaged a high of 10,000 miles out of the stock tires and a low of less then 6 on a set of metzlers, I will be anxious to see if I can top the 10,000 mark with this set, everything I have read so far would tend to lead me to believe that wont be a problem. Wingstuff did a great job in delivery, very quick and speedy, at a great price |
