Front Tire Wear - What's Your Typical Mileage?
Posted: Tue May 31, 2016 6:21 pm
Avon has done away with the Venom-X front tire that many of us have been using on our Boss Hoss Motorcycles. Their newly redesigned front tires, the "Cobra" and "Cobra Trike" no longer have the center groove which sometimes caused the front tire to wander on grooved road surfaces as well as other new features.
Also, this new tire has a 15,000 mile warranty. This got me thinking... I don't get anywhere near 15k miles on my (now discontinued) Avon Venom-X front tires. What mileage do you guys & gals typically get?
Of course, you have to read the fine print on this prorated warranty... tires much be installed by a motorcycle service center, warranty duration is two years, etc.
This might be old news to some here, but it was the first I had head of it last Summer while at Sturgis & spoke to the Avon rep there. Just now getting around to ordering a new front tire.
Anyway, this sounds like a nice step forward for Avon. I am anxious to try their Cobra tire.
