I am needing some new Avon Cobras. I usually buy them from my local dealer who is a super nice guy and I always try to support him...but being that I'm spent out (broke!) over the holidays, I need to save as much as possible. Where is a good place on line to buy a set at a good deal?

You can look around at Jake Wilson, Dennis Kirk, HDL, yada.... but when I am looking for best price, I enter the exact item (tire and size - and/or OE part number) in a Google search, and start opening windows one by one.

If Amazon has one (or both) they will rarely be beaten (but sometimes you can find cheaper).

Thanks Jess...Hopefully I can find some on Cyber Monday and save big. :cooldude:

Does anyone have problems running the 200 rear cobra?

I'm not sure of their tire prices however right now is 15 % off at HDL until 12-3-13 the code is BLACKFRI13 .
I saved $36.85 on a Wing alternator.


I've seen alot of people that thought they were cool , but then again Lord I've seen alot of fools.

Print out the best deals on the internet and go talk to your local guy. He might match the price and throw in the mounting.

Thanks for the offer Dave and it would be great to see you again, but I told Floyd I will pay to have it shipped.  Unless you have a front tire to give me too? :laugh:

We could always do it like we did on the Valhalla Mugs. I would take it to the Indiana ~ Ky line and hand it off. Might get to meet someone for lunch and tell a few lies. :)
