Cobra and Venom tires

[ChopperJeff]

Just thought I'd inform people here about Avon's response to the email I sent them about their Venom and Cobra tires, namely can you have a Venom on the front and the Cobra on the back. I asked this as they have yet to have the Cobra MH90-21 for the front.

Their reply was this:
"You can run the front Venom with a Cobra rear no problem they are compatible. A Cobra MH90-21 will be available in about 12 weeks."

Looks like I'll be trying this out once I get the money to buy the two tires. I'll let you know how it goes... if anyone's interested.

I'm gonna milk mine out till the Cobra front comes out.

 

[Mickeetwo]

I could be wrong, but I think the only real difference in the two tires is going to be the name change.

 

[Mickeetwo]

There is also a little change in the tread design

 

[bdmridgeback]

The tread is quite a bit different.

 

[Daddycool]

That Cobra would look "kick a$$" on a Dog!

 

[ChopperJeff]

I figured because the tread is different that you wouldn't be able to mix it with the Venom, so I was surprised when Avon reassured me that it's fine to mix them.

 

[Dimentia]

I have them mixed right now and I have no issues with them

 

[BigDognSoCal]

I have the mixed set also...Works fine! New tread pattern looks better too.

 

[river dog]

I have them mixed also . I do like the cobra better

 

[Oscar Maldonado]

Post them! Would like to see what they look like.

I just ordered both the front and rear Avon Cobra tires for $329 Shipped.
I used motoxoutlet

I couldn't find anyone local for less that $343 for just the rear tire

The guy on ebay is now asking $260 shipped for the rear tire

 

[BigDognSoCal]

great deal I paid 4 bills for just a rear tire...they are sweet...

 

[Gas Man]

great deal I paid 4 bills for just a rear tire...they are sweet...

WOW, was that the new 600mm tire or somin? :lol:

 

[TCALZ06]

They just emailed me and the front tire is on back order


I don't doubt the $400 at all.
It is surprising how many places have not heard of Dyna beads and
how many can't install a 300 tire
