2011 FatBob any Tire recommendations ? please
Any recommend for new tires for our 2011 FatBob, I like the idea of radials, but open minded & would like advice/recommendations.
Thanks, Graham.

I've said this more than a few times to Harley riding buddies. Get rid of those junk bias-ply tires and go to radials. You'll be so freakin happy you did. Myself, I've run Metzler 880's, 888's and Avon Cobra Chromes. All of them are a huge upgrade but I have stuck with the Avon's for the past 4 tires and I'm completely happy with them.

I think i'd prefer to keep the stock sizes if possible,so do you guys know if the Cobras come in stock sizes for the FatBob ?.
Also could you point me towards any online/mail order suppliers(cheapest possible
) for the Cobras(in the US), i'd be ordering from here(UK) & a lot of US retail outlets are blocking content to UK ip addresses.Cheers, Graham.

Avon Cobra Chrome.....sticky and comfy....fwiw....I probly read every recent thread on tire choice before deciding on them....having said that many swear by Pirelli Night Dragons and Michelin Commander II.....my goal was control and stickiness over mileage. Those that ride daily for many miles may go for mileage instead....just depends

Wait, you want to order British tires from a US dealer and import them into the UK? Won't the shipping and duty kill the deal, no matter how good the price?
