    Avon Owner for Life

    My tire life was just fine, but I put new front and back on just because. In back went an Avon AV72 (200-55/r18 as I recall). Monday (while it was 93 out), I picked up a nail and found myself baking by the side of the interstate. Long story short, I call Avon sales and they tell me every...

    Avon Cobras: anyone try them out yet?

    I was rather pissed to find that the AM41/42 Venoms were no longer available in the sizes I use. But I see that they have a new matched set in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15. Avon AV71/72 Cobras. https://www.denniskirk.com/avon/front-cobra-av71-120-90h-18-blackwall-tire.p544574.prd/544574.sku...

    Review: Avon Venom AM41/42 tires

    First Impressions - 150 miles The main reason I chose the Avon Venom AM41/42 tires in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15 for the V-Max is being able to get them as a matched set in the sizes I desired. Finding some favorable comments towards these tires only further convinced me that I was making the...

    Avon AM41/42 Tires

    Has anyone here had any experience running the 120/90-18 & 170/80-15 Avon AM41/42 tires on their Max? I am thinking that I shall need new tires by the end of the riding season, and I like these widths, and they are recommended as a matched set. The 170 on the back is a commonly selected...

    avon 170 tire VS Shinko 200

    I was a lil shocked to see the Shinko 200/50/18 that much taller than the Avon 170/60/18 side by side. I really thought the Shinko was going to be shorter it being a 50 series:confused2: was really happy it was taller

    Avon 170/80/15

    I?ve been a ?lurker? on this forum a few months soaking up all the good info, so thanks to everyone for that. I decided to try the AVON 170/80/15 and was fully prepared to do the washer swap, but it was totally unnecessary. The tire slid right in and on the shaft side the clearance is .220 (for...

    Avon Venom tire

    To put it shortly, it's the worst tire I've ever used. It absolutely sucks. What? You want some details? Okay, I guess. Note: this is for a 150/90-15 rear tire. Dry traction: Mediocre at best. My Max with the Venture drive can keep it lit up through most of third gear before it finally...

    No more Avon Tyres for me

    Well I will NOT put another Avon tire back on the bike. I've been pricing tires this fall, as when I got the bike in July, it was in need of a tire. I did ONE burnout with the bike, and it started to almost blister the tire in the center, so I thought no more 'till the end of the riding season...

    Avon AM26 RoadRider experience/opinions?

    Good front tire match for Avon AM-42?

    I am currently running a 150 90 15 Avon AM42 out back and a factory Dunlop up front. I do not mind the Dunlop, but I am looking for suggestions for a good tire to go with the Avon. Avon only has a 100 and a 120 for the front, no 110. Has anyone ran the Avon 100 90 18? I have a SPA tach so speedo...
