Just installed the Avon cobras on my 2005 goldwing. Went with the 70 series rear tire and speedometer right on. I have around 1500 miles so far and I am very happy with them. Still have that little headshake at 40mph. |

Just had these installed on Wednesday and have only been able to put aprx 220 miles on as of Thursday night. After the first 100 miles to "scuff" them, I started pushing it further. I drove around Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) around Victory Circle (goes around entire grounds), and was able to take some curves at 60+ with no wobble/slip/anything; just sat tight and went on around. I used to run Avon's on my 1990 Yam Venture Royale and had excellent luck with them, so, when I seen these on the market some time back, I knew I wanted a set for my 2006 Wing. I have run the Metzler 880's and wont do that again. Only time will tell, so I'll try to remember to post something later, after I get a few miles on them. I DID go with the 70 series on the back, and I really think thats the way to go. |

Excelent tires, there is a significant change in handling for the better compared to the stock tires. You feel like there is a better grip on the road especially in cornering. Glad I got them. |

So far so good went with the 70s and yes my speedo is correct via the Zumo its nice now not to guess how fast you are going. I only have a few hundred miles on them but what a differance , I know that all new tires feel great when you change out but will let you know around 5k(most tires half life)for me. I also like that with the bigger 70s on the back the bike does not rock so much when on center stand.I live close to the dragons tail excited to try them out. |

First set of these tires and I am really pleased! I have used Elite III tires on my bike and though they are good tires the Avons are superior. Put the larger 70 sreies on the rear and the speedometer is now corrct. Drove from Oregon to Deals Gap and rode the Dragon! 7700 miles and the bike handeled great. Lean and let them turn! Tracked like they were nailed to the road. Still have a great deal of tread left after the trip. Floor boards took a beating! |

I replaced with the rear with the 60 series. Based on reviews - I should have purchased 70's. However, I have no complaints. Great tire at a good price from wingstuff. |

This is a continuation of my previous review. These tires are awesome. I rode to Indianapolis for the Indy 500 and their performance was excellent. I experienced hot days through Louisiana to mild days in Indiana. Long straight interstate to twisties coming through the mountains in Kentucky and these tires were phenomanal. I rode for two hours in steady rain at 60 to 70 mph with no problems. I highly reccomend them. |

Bought a set of these babies last summer. Right now i have a little over 5K miles on them. Still look new. These things stick to the road like glue. Quite on all surfaces. I was worried about the rain...but these things hardly know its wet. IF i get 20K on these things hey ... i am sold forever..... a for right now .. i would buy them again. Good luck and keep the shinny side up . |

I love these tires, unlike the Elites and the Metzelers they are very sticky and you have to be looking to even know your crossing a rut or a hole. I can drag my rear bags and not slide with these, not something I suggest doing but these things are great and it's like riding a much lighter bike. I put on the 70 profile for the rear giving me a bit more clearance for the turns and even when they do give they give gradually so it's easy to recover, scares the hell out of those sports bikes that are trying to keep up with me :)) I Love Them!!! |

Just had front and rear cobras installed on my 07 Goldwing. Purchased the 70 series for the rear. I immediately could tell the difference upon leaving the dealership. The grip in slow turns and the ride was amazing. I am kind of short in thinseam and was a little apprehensive about the 70 series possibly raising my seat heigth. I couldn't tell the difference. If these babies feel this good on my trip to Indianapolis for the race next month, it should be a smooth ride. |

Just put on the rear tire yesterday. Went with the 70 and must agree with Firebuddy...WOW!! Have ran Dunlop, Metzler & Bridgestones and really like the feel of the Cobra's. Will keep you posted on tread life. |

I have been running Avon tires for years and had never had a problem. This last set of Avon Cobra’s had around 20,000 miles when the tread was showing through on the rear tire. I do not advocate running a tire until the tread shows before you change it out. But as for mileage these tires are as good as they get. The front tire is still going and they were both put on at the same time. As for gripping the road I think they are the best ever. Whatever tire you’re running now and when you when you change them out to Avon Cobra’s you’ll notice a huge difference for the better. |
