AV71 on 2009 Harley FXSTC
I was a little cautious about putting this tire on the front since the OEM tire was a bias ply tire and this is a radial, but I was extremely pleased once I installed it. It seems to ride much smoother and handle much better with this tire than with the OEM bias ply. I don't know about the mileage yet because I just put it on, but I got a 50% mileage improvement out of the AV72 over the OEM that I put on the rear last year so I hope for similar results from this one. Far better than the OEM tires.

Tire review
This Cobra tire came highly recommended and even though it is very pricey I bought it. I've put about 200 hundred miles on my Honda VTX 1800 over the last few weeks and am very impressed. Easy cornering, nice and stable with very good traction on dry pavement. I bought this tire from Motorcycle Superstore because it was priced about $40 cheaper than I could get it anywhere else and they shipped it up for free. Too bad it cost me almost a hundred bucks to get it mounted. I don't cruise in the rain and have no idea how long the tread will last.

Avon AV71 Front Tire
Great tire, excellent traction and cornering! Only one complaint, compound too soft, wears quickly.

Great Tire, Handles Heavy Loads Well
This tire must be changed in sets, with the rear matching the front due to a unique profile. Tire has great handling. Low low noise. Good wet weather traction. More rubber on the ground due to its profile. Highly recommend for heavy cruisers like the Honda VTX 1800. Sidewalls stand out.
