Thanks for the replies on my previous post concerning my front tire. As it turns out, I also need a new rear and I can't find the Avon Venom in the correct size. Are the 'Cobras' the same thing? The tread pattern looks the same. . . .  If I go with a 200, do I have to modify or cut the nut cage? Are many of you running the 200? What are the pros & cons with the 200 vs the 180? THANKS ALL  cooldude

My favorite tire is the Bridgestone 200/60-16RR  cooldude
Exceptional ride comfort and grip level on both dry and wet surfaces.

It is the same with tires as motor oil, you'll find some very, very strong opinions.

The Cobras are the new replacement tire for the Venoms. they are the new improved "cruiser" tire.

If they are rubber, in the correct size and ROUND, who cares who made me except for the DunFlops.

Since you asked, I run Metzler on the front and a darkside on the rear.

Like the Metz cause it has more tire on the ground than those little skinny Avons.......

My $.02 worth.

Cobra is the new product by Avon
Venoms are still available at some vendors
Google Avon Venom and see what pops up
I was recently shopping for tires and found several websites that had them
