Not sure since I ride on Dunlop Elite 3's. You might want to try some Dyna-Beads. Might smooth out your ride.

cliff1600 · 07-15-2011, 02:18 PM

was thinking about them how would I put them in

You can put them in through the valve stem. Just remove the Schrader valve and pour them in through a small hose. You need to remove your lead weights, though.

Avons out of round????????????? I don't think so, unless they farmed out to South America, or China.

Get the ft end up and spin the wheel with a stick and a few bricks as a indicator.

Had 2 sets of Cobras with no issues when new.

Perhaps its not seated properly on the rim. Or it could be a defective tire, although the chance is slim.

They need to run high pressure in them. I run 42 front and 44 rear. If you run low pressure, like in the 30"s they don't feel stable.

**Top Cat** · 07-16-2011, 12:10 PM

Cobras are all I run. This is my Third set. No problems at all.
Well, the rear will no longer hold air if you run over a broad head, but that is another story.
I run 41 front 42 rear.

PS, Dunlop E-3's are noisy

**Cajunrider** · 07-16-2011, 12:15 PM

I have over 17,000 on my front Cobra with no issues. I've always run 42 psig in it. I should easily be able to run it for another 3 or 4k miles before replacing it. More than likely I'll put another one.

**Kawhead** · 07-16-2011, 12:46 PM

12 thou. on my front Cobra, 40#'s and no issues

macmac · 07-16-2011, 02:28 PM
