avon cobra radials

anyone running these tires? i am thinking about purchasing them once the current set wears down like in about 1k miles... i have fatboy wheels and will be running the 200/55/17 in the rear and a 150/80/17 in the front. here is the bike they will be going on.

I have one on the rear off my 07 NightTrain and im very happy with its performance in the wet and it looks like i will get more miles with it than i did with my original dunlops.

I have about 6k on a 200 cobra on the rear of a Softail Custom and it is just starting to show a little wear. As far as the performance between it and the Stock dunlop there is no comparison. The Avons rock.

I was just about to ask the same question. I need to replace my tires and there a $80 dollar difference between the Avon and the Dunlop's and I was wondering if the Avons were worth the extra cost.
