Avon Tires for Ultra 2cnd set
Does anyone have these on their bike? I am running spoked wheels and the rims are true the tires are properly inflated per Avon specs. The steering head bearings are per Harley spec. I am experiencing a slight left to right sway with the bike and it gets worse the faster I go. Does anyone have this similer problem? I noticed this with the first set and had a extreme wobble. I took back to the dealer with less than 200 miles on them they rode and and agreed there was a proplem. We figured they had a bad belt so we replaced both tires with new ones and same thing is happening with the wobble but not as extreme. Any ideas or recommendations?

I don't know what to tell you, I've run multiple sets of Avons & have never had a problem, great tires. They are a little softer so the wear is a little less, they've always handled great for me.

I cannot speak to your problem, but my brother just had to replace 2 of his Avon tires on his metric bike. Both tires were bought brand new, and at 9 months old both were dry rotted. Bike was stored in garage.

Avon's need to be run at a higher pressure than stock tires. Check out their website for more info. On my fatboy I run them at 42/40 front and rear where as the stock says 30 and 36.
