Installed my first ever Avon Cobra on the Interstate, had a  low speed wobble. No more wobble (Thanks Ricky-D) satisfied with short ride to test front handling. Running 41-42psi, now I can put her back on the rack and change the rear. Think I'll go D...... naugh.

Been running E3's until now.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

Been thinking about trying DS on my Tourer, but still undecided.

You'll get a hundred different opinions about tires here  :crazy2:

I've been running Avons for 8 years on my Standard. The first year of 'Valkdom" was spent limping along with the OEM Dunflops. I run 42 in the front and 45 in the rear with the Avons. My last front tire got 28,000 miles and still had a little left, but I was going to Tenn. to ride the Dragon and wanted to make sure it was a trouble free ride (it wasn't, but it had nothing to do with the Avons!) The rear was at 18,000 when I ran over some metal crap and had to replace it.  IMO - I don't care for the handling of the Avons in the rain when the tires are over-inflated and if I'm caught in any serious stuff, I stop and lower the air in both. Have fun!

I did 10k mi on the DS and came back...  Different strokes for different folks.  I like the Bridgestone BattleAx 200/60.
