Anyone have enough clicks on their R3r, to get a measure of how these AVON Cobra’s hold up ?
 
Averaging about 11,000 miles on the rear so far. I am on the fourth rear.
Can you elaborate on your “ tire tolerance “? For instance, I only ride in good weather. No rain, no morning frost. Therefore I can make a tire last a long time......?

I ride hard in in the rider mode in any weather. But I do use the traction control feature so that there is no tire spinning to save rubber.
 
Used them on the 2015 r3 roadster in the UK, when I was selling the bike with around 5000miles on them there was plenty life left in them.
I like cobras and I'm happy they put them on the new r3s
So far have done 1500km on my GT and I am happy with the tires.
No rubber burning, harsh acceleration ( maybe sometimes ;-) ) etc
and so far they are looking and performing good.
 
I'm about to have a new set fitted next week - lasted <9000km.
Majority has been spirited riding avoiding highways like the plague.
Only 9 K ? That’s nothing. I put 5K on my tires this summer, and they look like they’ve been hardly used. Mostly highway.

I only have 5000 klm’s on these Cobras, so I have next to zero history the brand. I’ll suggest which tire to completely steer away from ever buying.....The front/150/60 series Bridgestone BATTLAX EXEDRA. They came stock on my Kawi VN2000. The rear is 200 series. And is actually very good. The front 150 is absolutely crap though ??? It develops these weird raised lumps all down the middle seam of the tire after only two half year seasons. Lots of tread left. Just looks, n feels really weird.
