    Default Avon Trike tires disappear?

    Haven't been on for awhile. Probably could use a new front tire and note that the Avon trike tire seems to be not available anywhere. Any ideas why? Any good substitutes? 2006 Goldwing w/RS conversion...

    I have seen one Avon trike tire that the belt came loose creating big lumps in the tire.

    I have heard of a couple more.

    I don't know if there is a recall or if they have stopped production.

    But the should until they figure out what is going on.

    The one I witnessed was Labor day week in Maggie Valley.

    The shop did not have a new tire and sold him a used one with low mileage.

    I have one mounted to my original wheel with less than 500 miles on it. From day one it had a buzz in it that rebalancing could not correct. So, I put a 19-inch front wheel on it with a new tire and the problem went away.

    Thanks, I purchased my Avon about three months ago, sure hope it has no issues. Great 411 you shared, grateful to your input.

    I was looking for one as well but unoptainium… I opted for a rear D402 mounted backwards . No issues at all … just did 2 mountain trips and tons of interstate and was very smooth.

    I, too, was looking for an Avon when my front needed replacing on my 2008 CSC Trike. My servicing dealer, whom I trust, talked me into installing a Michelin Commander-3 instead. He said he would install an Avon if I really wanted it, but they have not had very good experiences with them. Not everybody is unhappy, but many have had vibration and noise issues. So many so that he could not recommend the Avon.

    Now after over 5,000 miles on the Commander-3, I am happy. I have been in just about every riding condition except snow. Mountain twisties, high heat deserts, heavy thunderstorms, high speed interstate, ETC. The tire is holding up very well. No signs of cupping. No noise or vibration. I have never felt anything but sure-footed confidence in the tire. The tire I replace this with was a Michelin Pilot Activ rear MC tire running backwards. The MPA lasted for good miles but it cupped early on and had a somewhat harsh ride. I think that was probably due to the stiffer construction of a rear MC tire. I do run 41-42 PSI in all my front tires.

    Unless something drastically happens, I will replace the front with another Commander-3 when the time comes. Hope this helps..... Jim

    I run the commander rear tire as well.

    When the time comes I will replace with the same.

    The Commander 3 appears to be a bias ply tire? And you run a rear mounted backwards? Why a rear tire and not just a front tire mounted backwards?

    No. I run a Commander-3 front tire mounted correctly. Previously I ran an MPA REAR on the front mounted backwards. Jim

    More tread=longer life, better handling.

    I don't know the science behind it, don't care.

    It just works.

    Well, I have a Dunlop Elite 3 on now and gotten good service but it is 6 years old. Will likely stay with a Dunlop Elite 4. I may go with a Bridgestone G709 as they are much cheaper and I do know it will wear quicker. The Elite 4 is really getting expensive.

    Rear tires have a flatter profile than fronts so there is more thread on the ground.The extra tread depth is an added bonus.
    Do not argue with an idiot.He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
