Default Avon Venom Tires ?????
Anyone got any feed back on the Avon Venom Tires? Looking at these for my 2004 WideGlide. Might go with the 160/80-16 for a bit more rear tire. What do you think??

I like mine, I've got about 3k miles on them and they look as good as the day I put 'em on.

I have a Venom on the front and a Storm on the rear, as per their website. I like them and will most likely stay with them when it's time to replace them. I have 9000 miles on them now and can get a few thousand more out of them.

Keep in mind that I got 18,000 from the Dunlops, so your milage may vary.

Avon's are great. Run them at a higher pressure. 40-44 for the rear. Check often and they will last 10K miles. They stick like glue. I'll never go back to Dunlops on any bike I own. I like a sticky tire better than a hard one any day. My concern is being stuck to the road, not mileage.
