Default Avon 180?

I need tires, the fronts worn and the rear has a nail in it.I like my SE Dunlops allot just not fond of dropping $500 at the local dealer. I'm looking for an alternative.I used to get tires from Discountmotorcycletire.com for my Suzuki and I wonder if maybe I couldn't get those Avons through some online place and have my favorite local indy install them.I'm looking for any usefull info I can get.Thanks.

I had Avon Venom's on my last bike 06 Sporty and they worked good. Had no problems with them. When I sold the bike they had about 6000 miles on them and they still looked like new. I'm not a real aggressive rider but sometimes my right hand will twist a bit more then it should...but it's fun.

i bought my avons on ebay from a tire dealer 110.00 brand new, i will look for the link. avon has a 176mm wide rear, but i measured it after install and correct pressure and its 182 mm. oh ya the avons are 100 times better then the dunlops IMHO.

avon storm rear and venom front. jackyl

Thanks for the help I really like the Screaming Eagle Dunlops but the price with installation at a Harley dealer was just stupid.
