Posts: 691 Manchester, CT | I had the opportunity to talk to an Avon factory rep at the NYC International Motorcycle Show. I told him that I am on second set of Cobras on my Vision and I love them but was only getting around 9K miles out of them. I have been running 42psi rear and 37 in the front. He explained that I need to be running 45 in the rear and 42 in the front. This will not impact handling characteristics and willgreatly improve tire mileage. |

I got 18,000 out of my last set of E3's, I ran 42-44 on the rear and 40-43 on the front. 08 Vision. The front still had another 3,000 left on it. |
