Avon Cobra is what I run. I prefer the Venom, but they don't make them in our size. I ran Venoms on my Yammi Warrior and was more than happy with them. I'm on my third set of Cobras and won't change to anything else. I did try a Shinko once. It was a good sticky tire with decent life, but I didn't like the smaller diameter since it my engine revved a bit higher and speedo was off.

I was getting 7 to 8 thousand miles out of the 402. I am now running the Dunlap E3. Have just over 8 thousand and it still looks pretty good. I've got 23 thousand on the front original Dunlap 401.

Pirelli Night Dragons !!! LOVE them. havent tried all other makes, but if u want grip in the corners an wet these babies r the ones (In my book
).
End of the day, its the only thing brtween us an the road aye
I run them on both my 05 Streetrod an 08 Fatboy.
I get around 6000miles on the streetrod, but picking ill be stuggling to get that on the fatboy..heaps left on the sides but middle taking a heavy hit ( my thinking is because i do alot of touring on the fatboy 2up an fully loaded down with gear
But will still go buy a new set (at $760nz,,,Ouch
) each time, because i believe in their proformance that much
I run them both at 36(F) 38(R),,,41(R) if touring
Does anyone think 41 (R) is the reason it may be chopping out so quick ?.. is ther a better pressure to b running, only going by the book

Most people want a tire to last for a lot or miles, not a FEW..
Most sticky tires will wear out faster so U will be happy with them.
