"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
First, I believe Avon changed the designation to "AM-71" as the AV-71 also referred to the standard bike front tire.
Second, Avon told me to run 40-42 psi at my discretion. I run 42 and so far am extremely happy with it. Not enough miles to determine longevity.

I'm running 42 psi. Handles well, and the road noise is way less than oem. I'll lower it to 40 soon, just for comparison.
I finally mounted my Avon trike tire but when I took the tire off I didn't like the feel of one of the bearings so I ordered new bearings and brake pads since I had the tire off, once I got them and had the tire back on it started raining here again, so haven't had a chance to ride it yet. The stealer that mounted the tire only put 33 psi in the tire so I increased it to 40, will let you know how I like it once I have a chance to ride again, hopefully this weekend.
Sadly I ordered mine from Chapparral motorsports May 4th and Im still waiting.They told me a shipment was coming in May15th,well the 15th has come and gone. Im really disappointed on this one.
I know what you mean. The company I ordered mine from refunded my money and told me they didn't know when they would receive the tires.
Are these tires that much in demand that production can't keep up ??
OR is this the results of a flawed Marketing plan to find how much of a demand was out there before ramping up production??

Yeah, I may have to bite the bullet and go ahead and order one from them. I will hold off a couple more weeks to see if their competitor gets their shipment in, They said it was due by June 15th, $143. and free shipping. If they don't get them in I will bite and go for it. So far I have heard nothing but good reviews on this tire so looking forward to trying it. Keep me posted on your opinion both good and bad.

I finally got the chance to ride my trike since I put the new Avon trike tire on the front and I don't know how much wear we will get out of them but regardless of the amount of mileage we get from them I would buy the tire again just for the ride. The tire rides much smoother than my other tire and absorbs bumps much better than using a biased back tire, I was very impressed with the tire and though I don't think it made any difference in steering the ride quality was more than enough to sell me on this tire, I will be buying another once this one is worn out.
So, who has this tire for sale -now-. Looked at many sites and see the AV71 listed, but with my luck, they would not send the trike tire.
