Think you will. Appears the majority of us who have used it like it and will continue to use it unless someone comes up with a better tire.

Big trike dealer near St. Louis IL. didn't recommend the Cobra tire. Said they install the MPA (reversed of course) 1000 to 1 of anything else. Said they keep about 30 of MPA on hand. They're mounted price of Cobra was $326, MPA $254.

They're ripping people off at those prices! I can buy the Avon Cobra Trike for anywhere between $135- 150 with free shipping and $20 locally to mount on wheel I carry in.
Anyway, be anxious to hear what you think about your new Avon Cobra after you get a few miles on it. BTW, use 40-42 psi according to Avon.

Yeah dealer talked himself to death trying to get me to bite on the MPA. Said they've installed hundreds and never a complaint. cobra will be today.

You will like it. After using MPA's on my Trike, I switched to the Avon Trike Tire last spring. WOW what difference.
When did Avon Cobra tire come out?

I believe the Avon Cobra Trike front tire came out about three years ago. It is a radial designed for trikes. IMO, it is far better than the bias ply, rear sport tires I was using; MPA or BT-45. I am on my third ACT tire and will continue to purchase until someone comes out with something better.

I've got just a little over 11,000 miles on my Avon Cobra Trike tire. I really like the ride of the radial tire, but a little disappointed in the mileage. I'm nearing the end of the first tire. But I already purchased another one, just was hoping for a little better mileage. Everything in life is a trade off, I guess.
Taking mine to dealer tomorrow morning. $35 to mount & balance.

Ive always felt Im paying too much. Local guy I use gets $40. But at least when it comes to tires. I don't have to wait. He will stop whatever he is doing and pop on my tire for me.

What cold tire pressure do you carry in the Avon Cobra?[/QUOTE]
I'm willing to sacrifice mileage for better ride. If this Cobra trike tire gets 12k that's 2 years riding for me
