Avon Rear Tire

[Lorenzo]

I think I'll give em a try. Got a good online or retail recommendation for them? Safe trails..

I don't remember the web address but just type in Google, Shinko and there will be plenty retailers. there is a seller on Ebay that just sells tires and he has the 300 35 V18 I believe they are, for $187, free shipping and it took about 5 days to get it.

I just looked it up on Ebay and they are called Chaparral Motorsports. Type that in the search area on ebay. here's the tire info:
300/35R-18 Shinko 011 Verge Radial Rear Tire

Thanks Lorenzo,

Did you go see the site? google the reviews on Shinko's, you will find way more positives than negatives.

I just got a 250 Dunlop from bikebandit.com in 1 day shipping. Been running Avon, however, I got low mileage and worn out tire so I switched this go round.

One thing that seem to be missing is warranty information. Avon USA now has a 15000 mile wear warranty on all of there tires. If you have them mounted by a dealer.....

Tru Dat, I don't like worrying or changing out a tire cause it split. I'm running Metz also

Does the K9 that comes standard with the 300 35/18 tire have issues with the sidewall and the drive belt? It's a factory installed Avon tire on my 06 K9 and I just bought a replacement Avon tire for it. I am in the need of a drive belt because there is a portion missing, as if something chewed it up. After reading this thread, now i'm wondering if I have to clearance the side of the tire. I need some educating on this topic. Thanks.

You should not need to that's only on the Metzler tires. Avon should fit like a glove if it doesn't someone might have put the spacers on the wrong side or soemthing else is wrong

And its only on some bikes, the last 300 Metz I put on cleared my belt.

Metz fits fine on my bikes also!

That's a bad azz tire.

 

[BWG56]

That will be my next rear tire, to try them out

My new Avon lasted one season, if you do run this tire you need to run 42 psi, a little extra..a bad choice if you run a hard tail, that extra psi will make it a long day...
My soft tail with hard psi feels fine... Avon.
