Dunlop E 4’s
Last year in 2020 I switched to E 4’s for my 2000 Goldwing SE! I didn’t get 6,000 miles out of it before the rear tire split in half on me! My local Honda dealership said they have never heard of such a thing. I’m a very experienced rider I would know if I would have hit something in the road. I have been riding motorcycles since 1974! I always inspect my tires before every ride, I am a commercial truck driver by trade for 40 years! Now retired! I just want to share my experience with my brother Goldwing riders out there! I couldn’t get a new tire from my local Honda dealership before I left on a 6,000 mile trip to Pennsylvania, I found a Metzler tire at a private Harley Shop & he opened his shop at 6:30 am to get my bike all repaired so I could leave on my trip by 9:30 that same morning! The gentleman who helped me out is the owner & mechanic of the shop! Now that’s a true motorcycle mechanic & Owner that cares about other motorcycle riders! Thankyou Coyote! I now have 10,000 miles on my new tire & still going strong! |

Outstanding For Me
Outstanding tires for my Wing. I decided to try a less expensive brand of tires on my Wing and was disappointed. Back to the Avons, now Cobra Chrome Radial. Very comfortable ride even in the wet Northwest. With the Avons I do not experience the front tire cupping like other tires I have tried do on my Wing. I run 40 psi in the front and 45 psi in the back. This appears to work fine on my Wing as I ride the back roads with lots of Sweepers and Smilers. |

Best and only tire made for a Trike
Love this tire no more front end wanting to go straight when hitting the curves. The extra contact width is just the ticket, Trike goes where it is pointed no more pushing through the corners. Nice smooth ride on them getting around 12500 miles out of them with 36 psi, but if you run them with a low tire pressure you get Around 8000miles out of them. |

Excellent Tires for this Ole Geezer
I have run different tires on my 06 Wing over the past 10 years and I keep coming back to the Avon Cobra, now Avon Cobra Chrome. All motorcycle tires deliver about the same miles but I feel more comfortable on the Avons. They are just more stable in my opinion. I only run my tires until they are close to the wear bars. I run 40 lbs in the front and 45 lbs in the back and my tires do not cup. I also have centramatic balancers to help maintain tire balance as they wear traveling through sweepers and smilers at moderate speeds because I am just an ole geezer glider. |

Great dedicated trike tire
This will be my 3rd Cobra Trike tire. Great handling with higher contact patch on the front. Made specifically for GL1800 trikes. |

Great mileage and grip
My 2018 came with Bridgestones from new and they lasted 16000 miles before wearing down to the tread indicators. I like twisties a lot and these tires have worked well for me. |

Avon Cobra Tires
Tried the Avon Cobras because the higher weight capacity. First rear tire went flat at 80 mph. Not fun. Under 2,000 miles on it. Returned it to them and they warrantied it. Second rear tire made it to 4,500 miles before side walls started coming apart and tire bubbling. Another tow of 90 miles. I will never run Avon Cobras on 2006 Goldwing Going back to Elite 4 |

Excellent Tire
I am replacing the rear 180/70R16 on my 2013 Goldwing after 25K miles with the same tire. Excellent traction wet or dry. Improved handling over the OEM Bridgstones. I also had a set of Vipers on my previous GL1200, also were an excellent tire. I prefer the taller profile rear tire. No problems with this tire. |

Best ever!
When I switched from Conti Tour to Avon I wasn't sure I was going to trust them in spite of my brother's emphatic recommendation (on his GL 1200). I was amazed at the grip on Oregon's wet highways and the transformation of my Harley into a smooth riding touring machine. I switched my F6B at 7K miles and will ride on nothing less than Avon Cobras from here on out. these are true five-star tyres (tires). |

Update Review
I had a pair of the "original" Avon Cobras. I previously reviewed these when I had only had about 6700 miles on them....I managed to get 19,000 and change out of them total! The ORIGINAL Avon Cobras were OUTSTANDING; grippy in wet or dry, outstanding in ANY conditions! I finished mine up at The Dragon Tail at Deal's Gap in TN in 2013. I've been reading the recent reviews on several quality issues that have plagued these tires, and it is for these reasons I couldn't recommend their purchase. Bubbles developing on the inside, causing exterior lumps and tread separation! I opted to purchase the Bridgestone Exedra pair instead. Great tire if they can exorcise the quality demons....you're rolling the dice if you purchase! |
