Possibly some good news on Avon Trike tires...

[pwhoever]

There have been many rumors floating about that the Avon Cobra Chrome AV91 Trike tire has been discontinued. And checking with pretty much all motorcycle tire retailers showing "out of stock" for a very long time now lended some credibility to it. I decided to contact Avon and see what they had to say. I received a reply today that if a retailer will take the order, get it in soon as they should be showing up again mid October. Here is the response I received.

Hope they are available by early next year. My uncle would start his trike project in January when he finished his Silverado this Dec. The body paint is done and we'll mount the suspension, rotors, and helo wheels next week before their holiday break.

Not sure why Avon is not making these - seems like there is a market.

Now, it might be that - if they can limit supply, they can raise the price. If this happens, I will simply move back to a regular Ultra tire and even use the BT and run it in reverse.
