:confused::confused::confused: If Avon is so horrible, why do I have 6,500 miles on my back tire with a born on date of 2009 and it has been on my bike for about 3 years and only shows normal wear?

I'll buy another.:D

Are you running cobras on the rear? I thought they were still making the venoms on the 330s? If you're running venoms then they are good, the cobras suck! I went through 5 of them on the 300 rear all split, I'm done with them too...:(

The fronts were't the issue it's the 300 rear that we're having issues with. I thought you were running the venom on the rear. In that case you should be good to go!

Well I guess Matt didn't get time or forgot so below is what he sent me via e-mail, I'm posting this because he said he was going to post this on the site.

Look at the dates for the changes.

I will ask my rep and see what she knows about it. I can probably make a BDB deal on tires. Let me crunch some numbers. Would this be a group-buy thing or individual thing?

Thanks for the info I will keep you in mind when I need some rubber sale or no sale. I just like the looks of the avon and would like to keep my dog original as possible.

Contact Dave Alari (see earlier post) - he insisted if I had any issue with Avon splitting tires he would take care of it.
