Figured I'd bring this back up for everyone, my earlier assumption proved correct the AV72 appears to be discontinued and if we want to stick with Avon we have to go with the Cobra Chrome.
I checked some websites and still some front tires available in AV72 but our 250 and 300 appear to be no longer there. I assume the fronts they are just waiting for them to go outta stock.
These cobra chromes are more money about $300 online for our 300 and $260 for the 250, so about $60-70 more than the AV72. They state an increase of 10% in tread life but at 6-8k that isn't even 1000 miles.
Considering those Shinkos are just under $200, I'd be curious what someone gets out of the new cobras, because I might just try a shinko on the next run. Problem is I want tires to match so have to buy a new front and rear.
Just wanted to give a heads up as everyone is about to start their riding season!
