Purchased the front tire only (have a trike GL1800). The tire replaced the OEM brand which was causing a slight front end wobble. Milage wise no doubt it will remain like all motorcycle tires, short lived. The change in handling characteristics is superb. A very nice tire. |

I previously rode on Dunlop Elite 3's and thought they were pretty decent, lasted well (19,000 miles). Based on a test drive on my buddy's wing, I decided to go with the Cobras. Wow - what a difference in handling! They stick to the road like glue, wet or dry. They also roll into curves very, very easily. I was advised to run the tires for 100 miles before pushing the bike hard. That was excellent advice - I initially had a tendency to lean too hard into the curves. I've put on about 1500 miles since installed 2 weeks ago. Wingstuff did a great job of delivering the tires to my mechanic's shop and gave me the best price available anywhere. Cupping comes from weak shocks - hopefully I won't have the same issue mentioned by others. |

Have put 8000 miles on these tires. Rear is cupping and with the cupping comes the loud humming in the corners. BUT, they still have plenty of tread and they grip the road like glue. I wish there was a magic cure for cupping. I will purchase another set of Avon's. |

I am impressed with the handling of these tires. I now have 15,000 miles on them. I am almost to the wear mark on the rear and not even close to it on the front. I installed the centramatic balancers at the same time as the tires so do not know if they really help or not. My brother put the same tires on his bike at about the same time. I will see if the balancers made a difference when he is ready to change tires. |

I ride about 14,000 miles per year and got over 14,000 miles on the Dunlop Elite III. Switched to the Cobras last year. Man are they quiet! But, at 10,500 miles they have started to cup - badly. Switching back to Dunlops. Still would highly recommend Cobras to lower mileage riders - you can't believe how quiet these are and they hold the road very nicely. |

This is an update to a review I did in April. My Avons now are at 10,000 no cupping, still handle great the only issue I have had was some tar strips on the Chief Joesph Hwy they were very thick and it was hot out, it was like grease,scary on some of the switchbacks. The wear so far is great. When I get 20,000 plus they get the fifth star. Avon is owned by Cooper tire one of the few American tire companies left. John Kreuzer |

Installed the tires at the same time i put the fork brace and Centramatic wheel balancers on. The difference is like night and day. I cant believe its a +800lbs bike. Handles like a bike half its weight. Very little tire wear and its even after 4k two up riding. |

Bought a set of these back in October to replace the originals that started cupping at 8,000 miles. What a difference. The handling and grip is fantastic. I have 4500 miles on so far and no problems. Nice and smooth. |
