Avon Trike tire
Had the trike in for the clutch recall so i had them put the Avon Trike front tire on. Haven't had a chance to ride it yet,its still in the 30's here.So my question is for those who have this tire what are your good thoughts and bad thoughts,it looks a little strange with very little grooves for water to escape in the center of the tire. How is the performance in wet riding conditions?
I put the new version, Avon Cobra Chrome, on my '18 about three weeks ago. I too thought the same thing about wet weather traction. Have a few 000 miles on it now but all dry so can't say. From Avon's reputation I have confidence it will perform but it does look quite different from the stock Dunlops for sure.
Steve, I have ran Avon tires on my motorcycles for quite a few years and have the old version of Avon Trike tire on our trike. I like how their tires handle in wet or dry. The old Trike version and the new Chrome appear to have the same rain sipes.
We rode our trike pulling a trailer home from the Maggie Valley gathering last September in the rain almost the whole way. We didn't have a problem with the Avon Trike tire handling some pretty heavy rain.

Thanks guys i have used Avons lots of times on different two wheeler's but none that looked this different.
Do you know which Avon ? Is it the old style ,which says "TRIKE" on the sidewall. I have one now with just over 20,000 & still looks good. These have been discontinued. New style says "Cobra Chrome" They just came out & don't know of anyone with many miles on them to report yet. Based on the old style, I won't hesitate to put the new one as it is supposed to be improved over the old .Originally Posted by Mykneesbehurtin

It says TRIKE on the side wall.
Then it is one of the original Avon Trike tires instead of the new Avon Chrome tire. I think you will like it after you get to ride on it awhile. That is the same tire Bill and I both have on our trikes.

The old version was an AV71. The new version is an AV91
They still have a dedicated trike tire in the Tri Glide/Gold Wing sizes. In the past the trike tires had a deeper groove depth for increased tread wear. Avon states it is improved in milage/wear & handling.

I had the old style on my TG for quite a few miles. Dry, rain, floods
Best front tire I've ever run on a Trike...and the newer one is supposed to be even better!

That is the one I have.
Double check the pressure for Avon. I think it was 40 for that tire. Still running it & you bet I will replace with the NEW Model tire, when ready
