I vote to make this thread a STICKY!!!!
Last weekend I took a pic of the rear tire on my bike. I posted it in my Profile. It is the pic with the scribble marks on my plate. After reading this post and posting earlier I went and checked the actual miles on this tire thus far. I was very pleasantly suprised.Earlier I reported around 3,500 miles so far. My apologies - I actually have 4,430 miles on this tire. This is incredible to me. I tend to have a heavy throttle hand and I like to stay on the pipes. It is my replacement for chocolate, sugar and such. Just thought I would let you folks know. After this coming weekend [tomorrow] I will have another 600 more miles on it.I am loving this Avon Tyre - Cobra AV72 240 more than I thought. One other thing, I am riding more than I thought. Damn sure does not feel like it! Please ride SafelyMD393 Dallas area and back this Sat/Sun.
I had Avon's for about 1000 miles. Took them off and put MEtz back on! I hated the Avon's!
Well, no Dallas this weekend. Will ride Houston area for two days. With respect to the 240's to me it is about tire life [miles]. My loyalty is to which tire provides the most miles for the way I ride. Thus far the Avon AV72 Cobra 240 is well in the lead - then again, the jury is still out. It is about TOTAL Miles for hand some would say is "heavy" when in actuality it is the Raider's fault The Dunlop Elite III 240 did give me 7,100 miles, but I expected more. It would be hard to convince me to try a Metz 240 at this point. As with all tires it is the riders responsibility to be mindful of tire pressure and take care of them.Ride Safely all and don't pick on the Harley's too much.
