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.

That 6 page thread only has 1 response to air pressure. Looking for more response. Thanks

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.

After fiddling around with various pressures, I've settled on 39 psi for the Cobra Trike. Very nice ride and great handling.

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??:Shrug:

Make sure it's the "TRIKE ONLY" tire. TRIKE is embossed on the tire.

"Avon Cobra Trike" is what is embossed on the sidewall in large , can't miss letters.

According to Chapparral motorsports Avon has pushed the next shipment towards the middle of June.

So it is.... I didn't see it when I looked but it is there!!! They are pretty proud of it compared to some of the other dealers, but they don't need to compete when they have it in Stock and the others don't.orag:

Worth every penny.

Worth every penny.

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.:Coffee:

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.ThumbUp

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.
