This is an update on the Avon Cobra's I installed on my 2002 GL1800.
These tires seem to be great. I have 7500 miles on the front tire and 5500 on the rear. (I had to replace the rear tire, it was out of round). the new tire is no problem. These tires are quiter than the
E3's I've alway ran, they handle better than the Dunlop and are good and very stable in rain. There is no tracking on grooves, tar lines or steel bridges. I am very, very pleased with them and they are not showing any signs of wear or cupping with the mileage on them. I have used Dunlop exclusively in the past on all my wings, except for one brief experience with Metzlers, which I removed after 150 miles because of poor handling. I was getting 12-13 K miles with the Dunlops but they cupped alot, were noisy and did not handle well when the mileage was high on them. So far I am satisfied with the performance and wear of the Avon Cobra's.
