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 always run what's wrote on the side of the tire,not what the motorcycle Manufacturer says. But I don't disagree with what he said. 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.

I had Avon Cobras on my Sportster and I loved those tires. I have no idea how many miles I got out of them since the speedo had long been broken, but they stuck like glue and seemed to wear well.

JV..lol....I'll report back in the spring when I can get back to long trips. I'm still riding but the roads will go to crap due to magnesium chloride that is used to treat the roads in CT
