Did they have Avon retool these? I see they are from 2021 but didnt know Avon revisited them.

They are the last of the last. They are cobras. When avon switched to cobra chromes, they didn't make new molds for the 08-11 pitbull tire or the wolf tire. Not enough of those bikes produced to justify producing the tires. It sucks, but it's economics.

Is there a substitute tire size that might work

I doubt it. You might be able to run a car tire. It would have to be very low profile because the fender is so close to the tire on the hardtails.

That’s not what I was hoping for as I’ve got a 2008 big dog frame and tank I would love to build NOT as a big dog something unique

BUT if I can’t get tires and I’m also in need of a triple tree (which can’t be found) I think I’m kind of sol on this deal we’ll at least I haven’t put any money down on this thing

Anyone looking for a 2008 Big dog frame??
