| I just checked my Cobras and they are just about to the wear bars both front and rear. The front has 12K on it and the rear has 6.7K. Probably could get a bit more but I'm going to swap them for a new set anyway. This is after running the crap out of them pretty much all the time including about 1/3 spent on the freeway. Just thought someone considering them might be interested.

Orlando, FL | Your loss Varyder. I run Cobras and they are the best handling tire for our ride. |

New Bohemia, VA | No doubt, but they seem not to last long. I'm might consider if I had a large cache of disposable income. |

| How often did you check the air in the tires. Getting 15k out of E3's and could do anouther 2k your Cobras are not that good |

Have to retract my post. Checked my service record and mileage is only 10k. Love the handling, but not going to match E3 mileage. Sorry for the error. |

solidifies my decision to stay with the E3's also. Getting twice that mileage. If I ran Cobra's , I would be changing tires almost 3 times a year front and 5 times a year back. I'm not that wealthy.  |

Sand Rock, AL United States | As long as the E3's last , I just ordered my first rear car tire ($90). It will be here Wednesday. From my research of other Vision owner guinea pigs, Half the cost of the mileage king E3, Twice the longevity of the longest lasting bike tire, and equal safety. |
