Avon Venom Tire Update & Dyna Beads

Installed Avon Venoms front and rear a few weeks. I really can feel an improvement. Better ride, handling and very quite. Also used dyna beads for balancing. No problems. Very smooth at all speeds. Glad I made the change from stock tire brand. Rooster 1

Th Venom is a radial? You previously had bias tires? Your bike has a sharp color scheme.

I love my Cobras so far. I chose them because I wanted radials and the metz were always out of stock. The cobras were only $30 more.

uhh.. what?

Lemme translate that... ok.. think I got it..

I went with the Avon Cobras and love them. They stick extremely well in the curves, ride well (not too stiff), have very little road noise and seem to wear very well - I've got 3,000 on this set and they look as good as the day I changed them.

The only downside is the cost - they are not cheap, but when it comes to tires, I do not compromise.

you know I didn't think the cost was that bad. The cobras were only about $40\pair more than the Metz. When you are looking at $350 what's another $40.
