Greg Georgetown,  SC Avon Venom X tires on an XL1200C I bought both front and rear Avon Venom X's to replace the stock Dunlop’s on my 2005 Sportster 1200 Custom. First impression is far better ride/handling quality and lower noise. I have to say I'm really impressed with the difference in these so far and I hope I get decent wear out of them (I got 12k out of the Dunlop’s). I mounted and balanced these myself with no problems whatsoever. I'm running 36 psi front/39 psi rear per the recommendation on the Avon website for my bike. I can't believe I haven't tried these before now!

Carl Clauder Culver,  OR Glad I finally bought AVON Tires.... My first time with the Avon - AM42 Venom Rear Tire. I also bought an AVON for the front. These tires outperform any other brand I've used in the past. Great traction wet or dry. Super sticky in the tight curves of the scenic highways near here. Without a doubt I'll continue to buy my AVON Tires from the Motorcycle Superstore. Oh yeah, the 'Best Prices' to boot.

Scott Burnham,  PA Avon Venom Tire for Harley Touring Bike If you get off the main highways you have to change out of the stock Harley tires. I've found Venoms superior in many handling respects, especially cornering. Down sides are they are a few dollars more expensive, they last roughly the same amount of miles as a Dunlap, the finish usually is not as nice. All in all, they are a superior tire and I've used them for years and recommended them to many friends.

Dan Vernal,  UT Great for my VMAX This is the only tire I have had on my VMAX. It grips the road and instills confidence in hard cornering. I take off fast all the time and never worry about tire slippage.

Frank El Paso,  TX Avon AM42 Awesome tire.I purchased front and rear tire. My bike handles easier. I also get a smoother ride. I have not ridden in the rain, but I have ridden after it rains and sand accumulates on the road.No problem with tires sticking to the road. I really don't care how long they'll last as long as I have a safer ride. Tires have been everything I expected them to be and more.OEM Dunlops have been thrashed even though,I only had less than 500 miles on them.

LK Fayetteville,  GA Best price for best tire This is the only tire I use on my 96 Honda Shadow VT1100c. It is a tight fit but works well and handles great. I get around 15,000 miles on each set of these Avons. Had set shipped to Preferred installer in my area who was great on service and on price also.
