I´m currently riding Avon Cobras on my bike. Had them on when I bought the bike. Got no reason to go for anything else. Great tires!!!
Many people here in Finland order their tires from Germany since they have much more reasonable prices and even faster delivery than local dealers. I believe dealers here also don´t stock Avons so bigger dealers in Germany make sense in that way too.
I thinks it's worth the cash. I don't really care for stones, I don't like the feel. For me, and my riding, the stickier Avon is well worth the money.
Anything is an improvement on the Stock Metzlers, but I feel the Avons have smoother cornering characteristics and are quieter than stones. Stones have better wet grip in my opinion.
just ordered another bridgestone for the rear myself @1olbull hang tight pics in 2 weeks i hope on the present getting it wrapped with some flames first
All the "things" that had to come off the bike just to get the wheels off for new tires smh! My front was cupping and my rear down to the wear indicators, 8500 miles. The wheels are in the shop now getting fitted with Avon Cobras.
