I've got Avon Cobras on my bike. They were recomended by the people I bought my rims from (Coastal Moto).

At 9,000 miles the rear tire had just started to touch the wear bars. I'm sure they would have been good for another 2,000 miles. But I like to keep tread on my tires.

Mine seem great no wobble at high or low speed. I am on my 2nd set right now.

I run the Metzler 880s on my road king these are best skins to use for hd bikes. If you like great handling.

We just put Avon Cobra tires on our 2010 Streetglide and so far so good with the tires. We have a 23" front and a 17" rear so it is hard to compare them to the stock dunlops but we have had mostly good reviews of the Avon cobras from our customers.

"Your Customers" So you retail Avons?

I understand you get sticky or you get high milage. I would rather put new tires on more often than spend a ton of miles not liking the message telegraphed to me by my tires. Are the Cobras harder than the Venom? I'm guessing they are but not by much.

I really like the Venoms on my FLT and I'm a bit hesitent to switch to Cobras even though its another Avon tire.

I have the Venoms, 8,000 miles and plenty of tire left. Love the way they ride and handle. I'm sticking with them. Great prices from Jake Wilson.com

I am starting to think the Venom is the way to go. I know I like them and they are WAY better than the OEM Dunlops.
