It's been a while since I had to order one: (Avon Cobra 150/80R17) and I was wondering if there's any current deals that could get me some shiny new rubber!

Thanks in advance for your help. Smiley

Metzler is probably cheaper and gives ya more rubber on the road.

That is all I have run on MGM for the past several years..    When I chased ya all over Northern Florida lookin for that Fish joint, I was running a Metzler.

Ha ha, I remember it well!! I've just been kinda out of the loop for Valkyrie parts and pricing for a while but if I'm gonna ride the dang thing I'd best keep the rubber from 'splodin!! I just saw that Jake Wilson seemed to have a pretty reasonable price so I'm shopping on!

Steer clear of Shinko... they were recalled for delamination.

Get quote from the boys at D&D over in Tempe. He has the best tire prices in town.

I just got my local Honda dealer to match Dennis Kirk's price after an initial quote of $240 for a Metz front.
