Did you think this forum was my 1st choice for information? I have the manufacture's spin. Now I'm looking for the person that has them on a bike.
As you haven't told us what bike you have, you ain't goin' to get much help! If you have a touring bike there ain't no Cobra that will fit most of them, which you will find out for yourself by checking their website.

OK I am putting new tires on my Ultra.
Did you not go to the link I posted? I see you are in the UK. They may not offer these to you for some reason.

I have the Cobras on my 2010 Limited and I've had no problems with them.
I changed from the stock Dunlops to the Cobras before I went on a trip to the West Coast. I have about 11K on the tires and it looks like the rear tire is going to be good for at least 2-3K more miles. They work well in corners, rain, and seem to be wearing well.

As it happens Avon is British old chap.

You're not helping us a lot here. We still don't know what model year Ultra you have, so must guess it is 09 or later! If you had posted all this stuff in your first post we would all be a lot further down the road.

Now we can start to answer your question.

i'm an avon fan, been running the venoms for yrs with good results. i've tried the cobras on my FLTRSE3 and i think they suck. there great for a few thousand miles 5 er 6, and yes i went through about three sets before i went back to the new dunlop touring tire for the 09. i even e-mailed avon with my experiences and no reply. still running the venoms on my 08.

Other than MTGlide and Tenn no one has helped me so threatening to take away that which I never had is not real traumatic.

MTGlide and Tenn Thanks!
