Avon Chrome Tires

[Apollo 18]

WHAT THE FOCK HAS HAPPENED TO MY BIKE !!!.
Just had the cobra chromes fitted and it handles really well , It just drops into the bends and is a lot more manoeuvrable , hardly need to counter steer, It just turns . I honestly didn't think it would make this much difference . You're not kidding I definitely am not disappointed .

Heck yeah bud wait till their scrubbed in hope u got some decent boots cause ur gonna be dragging toe.

I have the Avon Chromes on my brand new R3GT. Only a few hundred miles are them but feel good. I've had many problems with Avons in the past on my Boss Hoss.
I had two out of round tires and vibration issues. Avon is not yet my favorite brand!

I fitted Avon Chromed to my 2014 Roadster.
It runs like a different bike now. For the better.

Ive had a decent run out my Cobra Chrome rear...it has slid a couple of times in heavy heavy rain but so would any tire i guess...diesel on the road etc.....I am going to replace it with the Exedra max for two reasons...First, they are 170 bucks cheaper than the chrome and second, i have had real good mileage out of the previous two exedra max's on my previous Rocket....They are 55 profile compared to the chrome at 50 so the stance will alter a bit.
Re the tire pressures, i think it depends on your riding weight as to the best pressures to smooth the ride out.
I go maybe 115kg with my gear...i was heavier but have cut the sugar intake!!...i run 42 rear and 38 front...works good for me.
FWIW..here in NZ a Chrome rear...240/50 16 is about 500 bucks nz...the Exedra 55 is 329 bucks nz.

Did you try the Exedra rear on your R3 yet? Wondering how it handles now with the slightly higher profile.
