Avon Cobra AV-71 Front Tire and AV-72 Rear Tire
I purchased the tires with the hope of improving handling characteristics on dry or wet pavement. I've put over 2K miles on these and I've come to truly endorse them without any reservations so far. Properly inflated, they grip and have improved my bike's handling extremely well in the curves. The bike (Kaw. 1600 Nomad) seems to respond in a more nimble manner at all speeds. This just may be the only tire I'll rely on from now on. I've not yet determined the longevity issue, but I'll be a peace with the confidence I've experienced with the performance.

Short Tread life
I ride a Suzuki M109. I just turned 10,000 miles. I replaced the factory Dunlop tire at around 6,000 mile with this Avon Cobra tire. It has been a good tire with exception to tread life. I just replaced it after 4,000 miles. This tire is more expensive than the Dunlop and doesn't wear as well. I will replace the Cobra with Dunlop.

Avon - AV72 Cobra Rear Tire
I purchased the Cobra AV-72 rear tire and the AV-71 front tire as a set. I've put roughly three hundred miles on since mount and balance. The handling and turn characteristics of these tires are remarkable. I've not tested them so far in bad/wet weather conditions. In south Louisiana that shouldn't be far off. So far my Vulcan Nomad 1600 appears to be a near perfect match for these tires. I also appreciate Motorcycle Superstore's prompt shipping and best advertised price
