yeah I was thinking you went with cobras front and rear... got confused I guess, went back a re-read and

 

Any idea on the ETA for the AV71 90/90-21?

I was thinking about going with a 23" wheel up front so I can wrap a 120 or 130 tire around it.

Does the 90/90 provide that much more stability? Or is it pretty negligible?

 

That would probably be awesome looking!

I would never go back to the OEM size. If its a big difference I don't know because I cant tell what is considered a big difference but it feels much better on the road and I would never go back.

 

IDK if it's just me, but I made a 1300 mile trip the day after I installed the 90/90 front, and if felt more stable to me. ETA sounds like Sept for the 90/90 Cobra front tire from Avon...

 

yeah end of September is what im hearing on those tires.... rock im interested to see how you like those tires.. I had my choice between Pirelli, mich or avons.. I ended up with the best deal on the Pirellis, anythings gotta be better than the stockers

 

Thought I already told ya on post #4030...

 

I meant long term.. sorry long hours at the office, little to no sleep between shifts, gotta stop playing on the internet lol.. what is in my brain,by the time it gets out of my fingers onto the computer screen it doesn't make sense lol.. Almost feels like im back in the army on a deployment running missions as a zombie.. my bad for the confusion..


so you have run the avons before? what kind of mileage did you see? the balance beads, are you running tubeless or tubes? I guess they would be like the beads we run in the steer tires on the repo trucks..

 

I got ya, I work 12hr night shifts. And looking into joining a guy at work that does repos on the side. But as I was saying before, I have been running Avon tires on my last few bikes and for quite some time. I really like them. The stock Michelin's weren't bad, but Avon's grip better and cost half as much.

 

repoing can be fun but it can be boring as crap.. nothing like the tv shows.. lots of driving, lots of getting lied too, but if your good at it and know how to make contact with people its fun and it pays the bills. I've been putting in a lot of 15 hour days, but we just went number 1 for out region with one of the biggest clients so the hard work payed off.. I repoed 150 cars this month.. were a little company 4 driver so 150 cars this month was great...


Back to the tires, Have you ever run the Pirellis on the wg? Like I said I got a smoking deal on mine and needed tires before this weekend and everyone was out stock on a matching set.. I really like the avons and the price looks pretty decent.. Wonder if there will be any difference between the venom and cobra front??? sucks tire I wanted is a month out and I need tires like yesterday lol.. well have a good night.. off to bed

 

I have never run Pirelli's, so IDK. No issues with running venom front with cobra rear that I can tell or am aware of...
