Great Tires
Purchased these for my Moto Guzzi Audace. Price was $100 less then local purchase. Delivery was fast.
Much better grip then the OE Dunlops. Also, excellent performance in rain and wet roads. The Dunlops were a little slippery in the rain. I will be using this tire from now on.
Awsome tires!

Avon Cobra Chrome for 2015 Road King
I recently purchased a set of Avon Cobra Chrome tires for my 2015 Road King.
Previously, I was running Pirelli Night Dragons but couldn't find a complete set for the price of the Avons on FortNine.
So far (approx. 1,400 kms) they are performing as well as the Night Dragons. Other than the fact that the NDs felt slightly softer, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart..
Both have a rounder profile than the stock Dunlops and feel much more nimble.
I originally bought the NDs because they were reportedly a stickier tire. The more nimble handing was just a pleasant surprise.
The Avons are definitely on par with the NDs in all respects so far. Now it is only left to see which ones last longer. Although, l ride too fast to worry about tire longevity. For me traction and handling are everything.
I have not provided a "Wet Traction" rating below because I have not yet ridden them in the rain.
For what it's worth, the NDs had great wet traction. I'll be disappointed if the Avons don't do likewise.

Good in snow!
That's right, last ride of the season over the North Cascades on day 1, came out of a corner and hit packed snow/ice on a down hill and managed to stay upright and stop. My partner behind me was not as fortunate but he and the bike survived with mild bruising and scrapes. We rode 2 more days in cool, sunny weather and the tires were noticeably better than my previous OEM, especially with wandering on parallel road repairs like tar snakes and road grinding, bridge grates, etc. Price/shipping was excellent. Was going to rate 4 because I haven't ridden in rain but the snow changed my mind, I'm sure they will do well in the wet as others have confirmed.

Sticky
My local shop guy runs these tires and when I did my research I had come to the same conclusion Best thing I ever did these tire just make the bike feel planted to the road. We got caught several times in the rain this year and that’s something I fear but these tires performed so well we rode the speed limit like it was dry. Excellent stopping power , take off , corners and even on gravel and dirt these tires hook up nice

Awesome Tires!
Got about 600kms on these and they are the best tires I've had so far, definitely recommend over the night dragons. Tires are very stable and very grippy, also look awesome!!

Excellent ride and handling
I like the way the bike holds the road,even in the faster turns. If it lasts like the rear Avon Cobra Chrome I'm sure I will get my money worth and more.

Questions
Can I run a Cobra on the front of my H-D Streetglide and the Cobra Crome on the back?
Whilst we don't usually recommend mixing tire styles on the front and rear, you should be fine running a Cobra with a Cobra Chrome

I'm looking to buy these for my Yamaha bolt. The rear tire size is 150/80/16. I notice there are two that size, one is "reinforced". Is one radial and one bias ply? Or is the reinforced tire meant for a heavier bike?
The "reinforced" version of the 150/80-16 is a bias ply tire, and the other one is radial. Generally, bikes that are heavy will come stock with bias ply tires, which can take more load, which is why this tire size is reinforced for these types of bikes.

What is the difference between the Avon AV91 Cobra MT90B16 (front reinforced) vs the (front, Trike reinforced)? Looking to install on a HD Tri-Glide.
The Cobra Chrome Trike is designed specifically for Trikes. It has a flatter profile allowing for the scrubbing effect that happens when Trikes turn, twisting instead of leaning.
